If my machine has a network address of 209.1.112.33 and a netmask of
0xffffffe0, then what would its broadcast address be by default?
209.1.112.32 since broadcast addresses are all zeros on older versions
of some TCP stacks....

However, it is much more likely that two machines are using the same
IP address, or that one machine is using it with different NICs.
