4512.0. "TCP/IP duplicate address crashes" by CGOOA::CRICK () Mon Feb 08 1993 17:34

    I have a customer that is using TCP/IP to support Pathworks and a mission 
    critical application that monitors some real time devices.  The problem
    they have is that every now and then, a user brings up a device with a
    duplicate IP address and the IP network crashes (they don't use BIND).
    
    They would like to know if DECmcc can be used to detect and manage this 
    problem. 
    
    Any pointers on this would be appreciated.

    nothing that I know of at this time. It is still the catch
    22, if two boxes out there think that they are the same
    guy, when you ask "who are you?" you never know which
    one is going to reply.  
    
    The ARP table should keep some of the information in there, and
    maybe someone has written something for checkin it for these
    discrepencies but I am not an IP person so I really can't help
    you any more on this one.
