The PC name is known as the Netbios name, PC's can talk to each other using either the PC name or IP address. The network usually has a server/router that provide directory naming service (DNS) which has a list of PC names and there ip address, when you contact another PC by name, you are infact asking the DNS server for that PC's ip address and then talk to that PC by IP address.
So two PC's with the same name will mean that PC's on that network wont be able to talk to both PC by name. This could affect Applications running on these machines as some network applications use PC names as a reference and so this may stop applications working correctly on these machines
