Hello, i am trying to ping broadcast in an address with ping using the -b argument. Well it succeed but only oen address respondes. Why is this happening? There sould be responding some more ips. Right?


thank you in advance

huh? I can't seem to decode your post.
Usually PING works with IP or Domain. If the host is down, ping will respond with a timeout, if not then it will output stuff.

Let me explain please. Sending bloadcast ICMP packets in XXX.XXX.255.255 does not mean all connected computer with the ip starting XXX.XXX. will respond?

nope
255.255.0.0 means you can brodcast  to  difrent  ips  not on  the  same  network

if you want to ping the whole range of IP's, then I suggest to use Nmap with command "-sP IP/24"
