What kind of duplicate address detection do you mean? Windows95 (and
it seems that NT too) does an ARP for its own address as duplicate
address detection and Linux will happily answer to that if it's
incorrectly configured and has proxy arp enabled.

You're right. It shouldn't turn networking off, just warn the user
that something's misconfigured on that network.
