I know of no software that can do this (unless you're lucky enough to have
switches or routers that can show you their MAC address table), you likely
need a
hardware solution like a network wiring tester/tracer that can
"flash" the switch lights to show what port it's connected to. Google
should lead you to several good ones, personally I prefer Fluke tools
(
