I have an XP, so I made a simple ping for the topmost IP address, 
that is the broadcast address in my subnet and I run an arp -a.

Thanks for the hint for scapy.

http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/ seems to be very very cool.

Some months earlier someone tried to collect how many application made in 
pure python.
The list should be extended with scapy as a pure python application.

Thanks Lumbricus.

Yours sincerely,
