        that means 192.168.10.255 is a subnet broadcast address, and 2
extra host response to the broadcast address ping. Those hosts are vulnerable to the smurf dos attack. to found them, 
ping the broadcast address, and use sniffer to found out who replay.

D:\>nmap -sP -n 192.168.0.1/24
Host 192.168.0.255 seems to be a subnet broadcast address (returned 5 extra pin
gs).
