joy:/etc/bind# nmap -sP 192.168.0.*

Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Host   (192.168.0.0) seems to be a subnet broadcast address (returned 1 
extra pings).
Host actiontec (192.168.0.1) appears to be up.
Host  (192.168.0.2) appears to be up.
Host  (192.168.0.3) appears to be up.
Host   (192.168.0.255) seems to be a subnet broadcast address (returned 
2 extra pings). Note -- the actual IP also responded.
Nmap run completed -- 256 IP addresses (4 hosts up) scanned in 7 seconds


How does that help?

Thanks,

Paul
