Sure. If anyone starts up a device with the HP3000 ip adress the network
traffic on HP3000 will die.
Also all other system exept the one with the same IP will not se any
problem.

So what happend.
Any PC gury/user installed a PC/printer with the same IP by misstake. Maybe
just miss-spell. After 10 minutes he found out that and changed so
everything went normal.
 I have also one case where I customer was using DHCP and had excluded
HP3000's adress from the range. Then they had problem with DHCP so someone
removed that adress from exclud list. HP3000 went corrupted. After some time
thet found out and entered the ip in exclude and everything was back to
normal.
