Depends on what you have - hardcore solution is to ping every machine on the LAN (for that you need to have IP addresses of the computers on the LAN) and if you'll get packet on the ethernet level you can get the MAC address from here (if there's no router or something between you and the machine, on LAN I assume there's nothing) But if you have some access to the computers (uid and password) I would try to use the WMI and the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration ManagementClass.
