It'll still be useable on the network, but no other machine will be able
to dig, host, or nslookup, it. And it won't be able to do some of those
checks on itself. Being able to ping it would depend on its
configuration.

What you are saying is true except the machine should respond to its
own ip address. It is certainly responding when he tries to set up the
network.

That depends on what you mean by "responding". dig, host, or nslookup
*can* fail on a machine researching its own address.
