If your DHCP server is running Debian, then your DHCP server might write out
the leases to a file. For example, dnsmasq writes them out to
/var/misc/dhcp_leases (IIRC). Your best bet would be to check out the man-page
of the particular DHCP server you're using. Most man-pages have a "FILES"
section near the bottom which should describe where it is storing the leases.
If your DHCP server is running on your router, you'll have to look at the
router.
Hope that helps!
