Hi,
Following to your questions, there are many ways you can find the IP, I will suggest few:
1. Run ping to all the hosts in your network by script, when it done, view the arp table and search for your MAC address.
i.e.:
for /L %i in (1,1,254) do ping -n 1 192.168.0.%i
arp -a
Notice that 192.168.0. should be your network segment.
2. Run sniffer, search for your MAC address and then look in the packets in Layer-3...
3. Download Cain and Able from oxid.it and use network scan, it provide MAC scan crossed with IP's.
4. Use Solarwinds tool: MAC address discover you can download evaluation package from their site: http://www.solarwinds.net/Tools/Professional/Catego ries/Network_Discovery.htm#MAC
I hoped that it helped.
Sincerely,
SPD

arp will work as good as any monitoring too (how do you think these tools get the information?). It might not present it in a pretty layout, but arp will work.
And if arp doesn't work, than there is a problem greater than a single software package will be able to diagnose.
The actual problem here is that these little headless boxes aren't connecting to the network. If they aren't connected, than any other sniffer tools ain't going to do **** either.

Dan was right earlier too. Unless you can get at the arp cache on the router, outputting the arp cache on the server won't help (actually, it would on a wireless network or if you're on a hub, but not a switched environment).
EDIT: Also, if its on the other side of a switch or router, then you're screwed anyway for sniffing as mac addresses are usually only in the header for one hop. You can only know the mac addresses connected to the non-switched portion that you are also connected to.
