that would be a network scanner(*) - and most likely something your 
sysadmin doesn't like to see. isn't there a list available somewhere 
in your net. loading alist of IPs from a file is simpler and faster.

(*) brute force method: get your own IP and netmask then try to 
connect to each IP in your subnet on the telnet port. as sayed above 
most administrators don't like scanning and it could have 
consequences on your career.
