Google actually does set penalties for duplicate content, what you'll want to do is make a redirect on the .com to the .net using Server.Redirect (in ASP), just make sure its not a meta redirect. Doing a redirect will also tell google you are transferring everything over to this new domain, which will also transfer your pagerank over as well. Thanks,

If, even for a short time both site.com and site.net have the same content, ie duplicate content then you risk a penalty from Google. I’d suggest as above a redirect.

Use the suggested redirection method and your website should be fine.

You'll want to do a 301 redirect (permanent redirect). This points your old domain name to the new domain name while still preserving all the links you have from other external websites. By doing a quick search for 301 redirects on Google you will get plenty of info on how to do it correctly. No need to do a temporary switch over so that both work for a short time. Just switch it all at once and make sure all the proper redirects are in place when you pull the switch.
