If you have a Cisco.com login you can download their free IP Setup Utility (IPSU) that allows you to enter a MAC address and it essentially pings that MAC and returns an IP address. If this is on a LAN I would also recommend using your DHCP server and finding its IP by looking for the MAC in your client lease list.
