Often the two computers with the same IP address will detect each other and report an error. If the two computers are not in the same network, then the computer on the network defined by the destination IP address will get the packet.

destination. This discovery protocol can be a source of attack, which will be discussed in Part II of the book.

What would happen if two computers had the same IP address?

If they are not on the same network, nothing will happen.If they are on the same network, they will have trouble transmitting packets since the receiving computer will have multiple responses to the same packet.
What would happen if two computers had the same Ethernet address:

If they were on the same network, the protocol will fail since the computer will reveice two different responses to the same packet. This is highly unlikely.If they were not on the same network, nothing will happen.
Also, Part II discusses methods that can be used to change the hardware address of a device or to ignore the address filter and read all packets on the network.
