nmap Discover others question

[ToddAndMargo <ToddAndMargo () zoho com>]

Hi All,

  Using NMap from the command line, I would like to
discover what all is attached to the Ethernet.  This
run string seems to fulfill the request:

       nmap -O -v 192.168.255.0/24

Question: what about devices that do not use this
network?  Is this not a issue, as they couldn't communicate
anyway?  If they are connected though a "route" command,
would they not show up anyway?

Many thanks,
-T
