Hi,

When I do a nmap -sP 192.168.10.0/24,   I always
get this at the end:

Host 192.168.10.255 seems to be a subnet broadcast address (returned 2
extra pings). Note -- the actual IP also responded.

Can someone point out how I might be able to tell which system is
responding to the broadcasts?

While it isn't a security issue as the broadcasts don't get
thrown into the Internet, I am a bit concerned.

Thanks.
