Maybe you should read the article more carefully.
"One possible drawback to this system of using ARP to ping a host is that the ARP protocol is not a routed protocol. If you are not on the same subnet as the host you are trying to connect to, then this method is not going to work without first joining that subnet, which may or may not be physically possible."
Or maybe you did read this, and you're just trolling.
