Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Duplicate use of IP detected

If you can see two MAC addresses claiming to be the same IP address
(and therefore dupe IP situation), you can follow the CAM/MAC tables
in your switch to specifically locate the ports the two systems are
connected to.

If you suspect a duplicate IP address situation, filter on
"ip.addr==<IP address>".  See if it's immediately obvious that there
are two systems sharing the same IP.  If not, filter one out by adding
" && !eth.addr==<mac address of the system that you can see in the
trace".  You may want to add an "&& arp" as well.  If there's truly
another MAC claiming to be that IP address, you should see it here,
and be able to track down the ports of the two MACs.

If the MAC addresses are very similar (i.e. first 5 bytes are the
same, or otherwise differ by a value of 1 or so) then there's a good
chance that you're dealing with a teaming NIC.
