Actually this will happen if there's a private network on the same ethernet as a public network. For example, in Cisco parlance, the following config would do it: Ethernet0 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 secondary ip address 193.55.112.1 255.255.255.0 Since the broadcast to 193.55.112.255 gets sent to the all 1's MAC address, all the devices on that LAN respond, some of which are using the private IP space.
