Ping

[Randy Adams]

Solar winds make a good suite.

IP ping sweep is quick... 
Mental note: Don't scan a class A on the internet your ISP may get a little
cranky.

SNMP sweep is also good. it will resolve hostnames via dns, wins, and try
any snmp community strings you specify. It has fairly good MIB support too.

Good luck.

Fping works quite well for these kinds of things.  A search on Google should
turn up a location that has it.
