I believe you got responses from only those machines whose IP addresses
matched 192.168.0.[1-255]. If there are machines with IP addresses other than
this set (which may include your Windows machines and the proxy server; for
example a machine with IP address 192.168.1.1), then set your netmask
to 255.255.0.0 and try to ping 192.168.255.255.
