When you're connected inside a computer network, a lan, how do you find out what machines are also connected with you. I want to find out if there are other machines in my network I might not know about.

Many ways to do this with many different programs in BT. Most popular one that comes to mind is nmap:
nmap -sP [insert ip range here: e.x: 192.168.1.1-255]
Could always ping the broadcast address on the LAN. Not guaranteed to show everything connected if they're filtering out pings, but should show up some things.
This is not networking 101.
There are plenty of documents on google for this.
