Or if you have managed switches that can display their MAC address tables, this will tell you which port the offender is patched into.

If you PING -a the network Broadcast ID, then issue an ARP -a that is output to a text file you can search for it.
Ah assuming each network device is set to reply to broadcast pings :)
