It could be that there are two machines on the same network segment (Ethernet segment, Wi-Fi BSS?) that are configured 
to have the same IP address; this is obviously a bad thing because if some other machine on that network segment wants 
to send a packet to that IP address, it can't reliably do so, as it can't know which of those machines should receive 
it.
