a ping-broadcast (broadcast-ping??) should help, but if you're not the administrator, get out of his/her way quickly after doing that.

Update:
This not as brute-force as using nmap, but also not liked. Both approaches will cost you dearly if you are not realy in charge of the network.
Using the ping-method, use -c2 to get the full list of not filtering/filtered machines with a minimum of traffic.
If you plan to do this regularly, don't, there's a reason unix sysadmins don't like windows-machines; they are way to verbose...turning unix machines into a coffee-klatsch (hey, found that on leo external link) is kind of rude.
