I think you are misunderstanding something fundamental. . . .
Unix is not a program you download and install. It is a whole new OS. So you can't download "Unix for Windows XP" like you said. If you install Unix you won't have Windows XP any more.
You can do a dual boot solution where you can boot your computer to XP or Unix, but not both at the same time.

RARPD(8) System Manager's Manual RARPD(8)
NAME
rarpd - reverse address resolution protocol daemon
SYNOPSIS
rarpd [-v] [-i interface ]
DESCRIPTION
Rarpd listens on the ethernet for broadcast packets asking for reverse address resolution. These packets are sent by hosts at boot time to
find out their IP address. Rarpd looks up the six octet ethernet number in the ethers map finding a host name. This name is translated to
the IP address of the host by a DNS lookup. The IP address is then sent to the host.
Before rarpd can start its service it first finds out what the IP address and hardware address of the ethernet is.
Warning! Sun diskless workstations assume that the first RARP server that answers is the host they are to boot from. For this to work all
other Sun RARP servers delay their answer if they are not also the requestors boot server. This rarpd does not have this kludge so it will
happily engage the Sun boot server to see who can answer the client first. Unless your host can actually serve a Sun diskless client, it
is better not to list any more hosts in the ethers file than necessary.
OPTIONS
-v Be verbose. Show requests which the daemon is responding to.
-i Bind to the named interface. By default rarpd binds to the default interface for the local system type, if available.
