That's too bad since I have 4 of the bloody bastards on my network
(they're for my wife and kids who haven't warmed up to Linux yet).
That does seem to match my observations though; if I ping with
something like ping -c2 or -c3 I may also hear from my other linux box
and my Netgear wireless access point.  But yea, the windows boxes
never seem to show up and they are the ones I want to verify -
especially the wireless connected ones.
