different IP addresses, but X and Y have the same hardware address.
Suppose that computer Z is completely different -- Z has it's own
name, it's own IP number and hardware address -- all of them different
from those of X and Y. In your answer to problem 9.3 first consider
what could go wrong if Z sends a message to X. Take into account the
replies that Z might get, and what it might do about the replies. Next
imagine what will happen if X attempts to communicate with Y. Have
fun :-)
