As well as looking at your router, as suggested by frankspin, you can also check the arp table of a computer connected to the same network. This is a routing table listing Mac addresses and their IPs for devices on the network. Use arp -a from the terminal / command line.

Most routers have some form of status page to see active internet connections. Go poke around your router settings and you will find it. I have a D-Link so even if I listed where they are they'd be different for you.

this should be listed under DHCP Client List on the browser based interface. you'll see some random client id and the mac address for the device
