I used to use some of the Fluke Network Monitoring software solutions when I was in school.. Pretty cool package, basically scans the network and tells you whats connected, what type of device and fun stuff like that. However unfortunatly I cannot remember the name of the tool only that Fluke was the people who created it. Down side was it caused hella amount of traffic on the network so we could only use it in test enviornments as the network admins would scream if we used it on the real thing.
Sorry if this is usless.

Browse here for some available (free/opensource/commercial) tools: www.snmplink.org .
For opensource options, I recommend OpenNMS (for Linux) or NINO (for Windows).
Peace always,

Have you heard of 3Com Network Supervisor?
If you go to 3com site and look for Network Management Software I believe it is then the first link.
