Pinging the address used by a NIC won't necessarily do anything at the hardware. The TCP/IP stack may still handle that internally. e.g. This PC's network card uses 192.168.1.4, if I ping that address, nothing happens at the card, yet I get ping responses. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
