SYMPTOMS
Duplicate IP addresses are not handled properly by Microsoft TCP/IP-32. A newly started computer using an already used IP address will join the network successfully without correcting the duplication problem. Communication with either of the computers sharing the IP address is not reliable. If the first computer using the IP address has Microsoft TCP/IP- 32 or Windows NT 3.5, a notification message appears, but no further error handling occurs.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft TCP/IP-32. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
