If you can obtain your local IP address and subnet mask, you could conceivably PING all the other addresses on your subnet and see which ones respond.

This could take a while with a largish subnet. You'll also get responses from servers, printers, potentially routers, etc.

If you want active users of a particular application, you could set up a shared table somewhere and record the particulars of each user running the app. It could include the IP address or anything else of interest.
