Possibly - using the IP scanner I pointed you towards earlier, you can
sometimes retrieve their MAC addresses - and in doing so, you might also
find if they have any unsecured services on their side :-p

Just bear in mind that the Computer Misuse Act might make things tricky
if you do anything to their systems (in fact, they may already be in
breach of that if they`ve transferred data via your system - IIRC one
case of hacking was brought on a charge of theft of electricity)
