MAC vs IP addresses
Download the packet trace file mynet-hisnet.zip. Unzip it. Open the resulting "mynet-hisnet" file in Wireshark. It records 2 ping exchanges (4 packets total). Look at each of the 2 ping request packets. In each, note and compare the MAC and IP addresses used. Whose are they? Here are the 3 machines, 4 interfaces, and 8 addresses involved:
Pinger
Router
Faraway
eth0

You can see there are 2 LANs here, and Router is a member of both.
