Maybe an advanced version of Ping? New environment, I may not have full NT Admin rights.

your lan will probably only have ONE subnet otherwise no computers will be able to talk..
IE:
255.255.255.0 will allow 256 hosts -2 so you now have hosts from 1 to 255
network and broadcast ips are non usable.
if a computer on your network is on a different subnet you wont be able to ping it or even contact it.
So the chances are your network has ONE subnet.
the only way to tell would really be to go on every pc on your network and check.

You need first gather IP/subnet mask from ALL machines within the place. Do a binary logic AND on the number pairs to get subnets, then you'll see the right statistics only after you done that.
Remember a router (whether home NAT or corporate device) is a good indication of a subnet boundary; because it is needed to be there to let machine A in one subnet to talk to B in another subnet within the same LAN.
Machine A pinging machine B will also tell if A and B on different subnets. I believe it is the metric count.

The general answer is, ask whoever set up the router(s). Any number of subnets (that is, regions of IP-address space) can be routed into a LAN at the same time. And they won't bother each other, if it's done right.

should just be one subnet, otherwise systems would have issues talking to eachother...
