find local computers

I recently wrote an exec to find the active ip addr's on my lan by pinging 
every possibility on my class C network. This works nicely, only taking 
about 15 seconds of wall time to complete. The output looks like this:

$ ./findIps
preparing pings
start pinging
1 is on the network
3 is on the network
7 is on the network
160 is on the network
240 is on the network
End of story
$

Is there any way that I could also discover the names of each of these 
active network locations?
