Ok, I've fixed the problem on the physical machine, though I'm not sure what made it go away, and I still have it on the virtual machine. On the physical machine there are three network cards, only one was actually connected to the network - the other two were unplugged. Moreover, the two unplugged cards had a static ip address configured which didn't match our network mask. Once I set those two cards to obtain a dynamic address, the duplication has stopped (weird, huh?). I've since tried to recreate the problem, but failed to do so; And as I've mentioned, I still got it on the virtual machine whose image was taken from the physical machine, even though on it all network cards are configured properly.
