if you spoof the MAC, there are several options:
- you ask IP through DHCP -> dhcp server could refuse giving another IP if the MAC is still active. Depends on the implementation

Right. So it depends on whether a DHCP server is in place, and, if it is, how it is configured?

And if you choose another IP address (manually), it doesn't matter if you have the same MAC as the other client or not... Doesn't this depend on what type of hardware it is? I suppose it depends on what is being used to route the packets, as (if I'm not mistaken) some do this by MAC and others by internal (NATed) IP?


I think it does matter. Because there will be more than host replying to
ARP broadcasts and the question is what will happen.
