Actually nmap is a great utility.  You should learn about it.  fping ust
popped in my mind first.  (For different output, try 'fping -c 1 -q -s
-g <network>')

Oh, and I don't know if nmap will complain or not, but the above by
warren should be "/24" and not "/16".  Some programs will error or at
least give a warning complaint if there is a bit on in the zero part of
the mask.
