On my home network I often need to know which IP addresses have devices connected to them. The following one-liner will scan a given range and let you know whether each IP can be pinged.
for IP in 192.168.1.{1..10}; do if ping $IP -c 1 > /dev/null; then echo $IP alive; else echo $IP dead; fi; doneComments

users of BASH < 3 could use $(seq 1 100) instead of {1..100}...
lasting in
for IP in $(seq 1 100); do if ping 192.168.1.$IP -c 1 > /dev/null; then echo $IP alive; else echo $IP dead; fi; done

Don HarperTrue, one could use nmap or fping, but the code provided is very portable to any OS with a basic sh installed.

Steve SheadHow about this? It seems a little complicated but it's a good one:
$ for i in `seq 1 255`; do ping -c 1 10.10.10.$i | tr \n ' ' | awk '/1 received/ {print $2}'; done
$ for i in `seq 1 255`; do ping -c 1 10.10.10.$i | tr \n ' ' | awk '/1 received/ {print $2}'; done

darkglamfping -g 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.10
Maybe need help of 1 pipe and egrep -v.

Had to change the order of the command to put the flags in front of the $IP, and it helps to add a -t 1 to make dead addresses come back a little quicker.
