Locate misplaced laptop in Large wifi enabled building

How can I ping my laptop and be able to locate it in a building by detecting which WAP it responds to?

I dont knwo how to do that but what you could do if possible would be to RDP to your laptop and then turn the volume all the way up. That way you could play something in a loop until hopefully you can walk around and hear it.

Lets change the scenario to one where wifi phones are distributed to select employees where each one has a known IP address assigned to it and we ping all of the phones to find out who is the one closest to a particular event?
