another computer on my network has the same IP as my computer

Hi - I started my laptop computer and received the message saying that above, and that Windows has detected an IP address conflict.

What does that mean?  Someone else is using my WiFi signal?  What should I do to solve it?
Thank you

    Does anyone have a simple way (for a dummy) to solve this. If I disconnect my wireless router and laptop and turn the two again this sorts the problem temporarily, but it does not provide a definitive solution.  I use a new laptop and my old one has been scrapped, so I do not know whence this 'conflict '.  My old laptop had Windows XP operating system and my new Windows 7.  I hope that someone can provide a solution to this annoying problem.

  • error message says "another computer on the network has the same IP address.

    can interfere with my internet connection.  How can I fix this (plain English please.  "I'm not a COMPUTER expert.)

    This means that you have two devices with the same IP address on your network. It simply means that two machines are configured with the same IP address (you have a PS3, XBox360, another computer/laptop?).

    Each device needs a unique IP address works properly on a network. A reboot will usually solve the problem, unless both devices have their IP address a static address.

    Here's how you check/change it (Windows XP):

    1. click on START > network and Internet > network connections.
    2. double-click on your connection LAN or Internet.
    3. click on properties.
    4. click on the general tab.
    5. Select Protocol Internet (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
    6. click on the general tab.
    7. select Obtain IP address automatically and DNS server automatically get an address.
    8 OK on all windows and when you are back on the desktop, restart your system.

    What should I do or what it means when a warning is displayed on my laptop saying that this computer has the IP as another device?

    This means that there is another computer/device on your local network with the same IP as your PC. Try to configure your network adapter to use DHCP, or just give it an IP address different yourself... most LANs are minimal and you shouldn't have a hard time to randomly select another IP.

  • my windows says that another computer is running in the same network with the same ip address, please contact

    Today morning when I opened my samsung mini, it displays a message that another computer is running on the same network with the same ip address please find a solution for this

    In most home networks where multiple devices are connected to a router, router will assign an IP address to each device (via DHCP). This method keeps usually different devices to get the same IP address, but if you restart your router, it will not address remembered that he released before it was restarted.  This condition can also occur if you manually assigned an IP address to a device located in the router's DHCP range.  If the problem is not due to manually assign an IP address, then this condition will be corrected over time.  But if you're in a hurry, you can unplug your router from the wall and stop all computing devices on it.  Then plug the router back in and bring up all your devices again one by one.

  • Another computer has the same IP address as mine, how can I change this?

    Another computer has the same IP address as mine, how can I change this?

    Original title: IP address

    Hi John,.

    Please go to the Microsoft Community Forum.

    IP (Internet Protocol) address for the other two computer cannot be the same.

    Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are unique numeric identifiers that are required for each device that connects to the Internet. Them are a common shared resource that must be managed carefully in order to ensure the continued growth and stability of the Internet. Most of the Internet is currently treated with IP version 4 (IPv4) addresses. IPv6 addresses are also in use, but not yet to the same extent. IPv6 is a newer protocol, offering a much larger than IPv4 address pool

    However, you can try to reset TCP/IP on your computer.

    Check out the link provided and check if the problem persists.
