Interesting observation:

fping -g 192.168.2.0 192.168.2.25

finds all of my hosts (2.3/22/23/24)

nmap -sP 192.168.2.*

only finds 3 hosts (2.3/22/24)

Nothing changes between running the two commands; I simply ran fping, then 
nmap to see how they differ in their output.  No matter how I define the 
range on nmap, it doesn't see 2.23, even though fping does.  Any ideas as to 
why that might happen?
