Your network is probably:
Network: 192.168.0.0
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
host addresses: 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.254
broadcast address: 192.168.0.255
Just issue:
ping -c 10 -b 192.168.0.255
where -c 10 indicates 10 packets
-b means allow pinging a broadcast address
192.168.0.255 is your broadcast address
Each host 1-254 will respond if it is on-line. Simply collect the responses
and you'll have your list!
