Network Sniffers
What, if any, is your preference:

1. Network sniffers, such as SNORT.
2. Host sniffers, such as Tripwire.

Or a combination of both, and how effective do you think a network sniffer is as a security tool? How much time do you spend tweaking your signatures, so you are constantly being alerted?

On a local LAN, or a remote LAN? On a local LAN just issue the command: arp -a (this works on a Windows or a UNIX box).

On a remote LAN, there isn't a way to do this, ARP information is not passed outside of the network.
