Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Microsoft operating systems _prevent_ problems when two ethernet devices on the same network segment share an address.

I believe arpwatch[1] could be used to do the same thing under *nix operating systems. > Thanks especially to Ray Olszewski and Brad Fritz for their help!
