I'd say that neither netstat not ifconfig can do what you want. Certainly not ifconfig, netstat may show you what other network equipment your computer has been in contact with. But if they have never talked to eachother, then they are unknown from eachother. You may install some ports that scan the network to know what network equipment exists outthere, but that is not in the base installation I guess.
