My experience of ARP packets (in win) is that you don't even know you're
being exposed of them, no message box or anytning. Another thing that
bothered me was that I couldn't add a static addres of a IP in my ARP cache.
In Linux I could add them static, then a ARP packet can't change them, but
in windows the static flag doesen't seem to have any effect, tried on several
windows boxes but the same result: an ARP packet _did_ change a static address,
don't know if the static flag in win has the same purpose as in Linux.

btw, only tested on win95 boxes.
hope you understand my explanation :)
