The two ip address with one mac address isn't a problem. You can go
into the ip advanced settings on a w2k box, and setup as many addresses
as you like. As long as the machine responds to the arp ip lookup, it
works.
Two of the same mac addresses on the same subnet would be a bad thing.
Might work if you are using a hub instead of a switch, but both machines
would get each others traffic.

Subject: Challenge Question
I know this group likes these challenge questions, so I have one for you
and hopefully it has not been put to this group recently.
You have two hosts each with identical MAC addresses on an ethernet LAN.
They also have identical IP addresses. Why or why not would this be a
problem for the client communicating (assuming each of the dupe machines
doesnt need to communicate with eachother only to other hosts on the LAN
and through the gateway)?
Ok, similar to above, same MAC addresses but different IP addresses.
Why
or why not would this create communications on the LAN or through the
gateway?
good luck!
