Hey,

I’m thinking that a proxy arp answer could trigger the duplicate IP detection in Win2k8.  No strange spanning tree errors or logs that I can see.  It could also be a ‘3rd party’ on the vlan somewhere - i.e. not the Cisco router(s).

Proxy-arp would only respond, if address is routed outside the link. So unless
the network has subnets misconfigured (perhaps /24 in one place, and say /29
in another place, proxy arp would do this, but only for the /29 part, rest of
the /24 would work ok)
Local-proxy-arp would do this for all hosts, but I doubt the network would
work at all.

ACK, I think more information is required, especially how do they manually
intervene. What does ARP table say before and after this manual work?
