If you really have a large ethernet segment with each host running its own firewall you really need to look over your network configuration.
In case you didn't know, a mac address never leaves the current ethernet segment which makes it quite useless to use arpping instead of an icmp echo request.
If you want to know which hosts that are up on your current segment just look at the arp table for segments router och look at the switch if it's managmentable.
Maybe you should read up on basic OSI layers before comparing apples and oranges.
