You can pull up the Window's ARP table with "arp -a" (without the quotes) the at command prompt, since it is already communicating with the device based upon your description. It's ARP table should contain the device's MAC-to-IP mapping for its communication.

Hi. I am Ubuntu. Does my device publish ARP packets ? How do i know ? When i type rarp it says not supported on this kernel. – Jigar Shah Jul 28 '11 at 17:56
"Its windows software identifies it correctly." Go to the Windows system and perform the described steps to obtain the currently assigned IP or assign the device a static IP when you can access it. – user48838 Jul 29 '11 at 14:25
