-Arping can be used to find out it a specific IP address on the LAN is 'taken'
-and what MAC address owns it. Sure, you *could* just use 'ping' to find out if
-it's taken and even if the computer blocks ping (and everything else) you still
-get an entry in your ARP cache. But what if you aren't on a routable net? Or
-the host blocks ping (all ICMP even)? Then you're screwed. Or you use arping.
