I just tried that. Not all my hosts show up.
eg.
ping 192.168.0.255
64 bytes from 192.168.0.6: icmp_seq=9 ttl=255 time=0.1 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.2: icmp_seq=9 ttl=255 time=2.0 ms (DUP!)
64 bytes from 192.168.0.7: icmp_seq=9 ttl=255 time=3.4 ms (DUP!)
But, there is a fourth host, 192.168.0.1, on my network, which doesn't show,
even though I can ping it just fine with ping 192.168.0.1.
Is there something special about the .1 member of the network?
This is a windows host. Could that be why?
