As specified in rfc-2131.
The thing, which Win95/NT do, is called "unsolicited" or "gratuitous" ARP.
It updates ARP caches on all the hosts and if address is really
duplicate, kills real owner of this address. And commits suicide then 8)8)8)
It is very bad bug and practically impossible to workaround.
