    yes you can.

    open your terminal and type as who -a . that will list all information .

    else you can use nmap also . great network tool.

    you can get it by sudo apt-get install nmap

    if you assume you IP starts from

    192.168.1.1 then you can list all Computers connected with the LAN with this command 

    nmap 192.168.1.1-255

    The above command will scan from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255 IP's and list you which is up and which is down .

  3. net view on Windows is used for Active Directory. You can emulate this with Samba.

    Use:

    $ sudo apt-get install samba

    This will install net commands that you can use to join the Windows domain, such as:

    $ net help join
Usage:
net rpc join -U <username>[%%password] <type>
  Join a domain
    username    Name of the admin user    password  Password of the admin user, will prompt if not specified
    type    Can be one of the following:
        MEMBER  Join as member server (default)
        BDC Join as BDC
        PDC Join as PDC

    You can also use arp-scan, found here, if you're only looking to discover hosts on the network.
