  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.

  It seems you are using internet from a local network.

  You can ask the network administrator to give you a new IP address.

  If you do not use internet from a local network, you can probably call your Internet service provider and they will help you.

  There is nothing wrong with your computer.

• Message came up with, "Windows has detected another computer with the same IP address on this netework."

  A message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address. "... or similar message to one, that could just be the functioning of the laptop for the wireless?

  MurrayJoe:

  > Mean someone has or may have access to my PC or laptop?

  You mentioned a wireless laptop. Do you get this message at home (when your laptop is in communication with your own wireless router), or that you get this message when in a public hotspot?

  If at home, then I would be not too concerned (what security options enabled in your home router?).

  If you get the message while using a public access point, this does not necessarily your computer has been hacked... but it is a warning that you should not ignore. In general, I would not go to any site that has my financial data, or any other sensitive data, a public hotspot. There are too many ways that a public hotspot may be compromised.

  Your original post said that "a message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address.

  There are several reasons this could happen... some innocent people and some not so innocent.

  If your network is configured for the most common way, then your router uses a feature called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). You can read about DHCP here...

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol

  Basically, when a device on your home network needs an IP address, he asks your router and your router assigns an IP address... technically, "rents" the router address for a given period (one day). Once this period has elapsed, the device must 'renew lease'.

  DHCP stops you from the hassle of having to assign a static IP address to each device on your network and then don't forget to retrieve that meet if/when a device are removed from your network.

  Sometimes the process DHCP can be confused and assign the same address on multiple devices. If/when this happens, communication between devices on your home network may be confused. Windows is smart enough to detect that another device on your home network has the same address as the computer where Windows is currently running..., but Windows can not solve the problem.

  You can determine the IP address of the computer that is running Windows (and posted the message you saw)... by entering "ipconfig" (without the quotation marks) at a command line prompt. Then you can check the IP addresses of all devices on your network until you find the other devices with the same IP address. Then you could say either every device to get a new IP address of the router (or restart the device). Alternatively, you can try just stating the computer that is running Windows to get a new IP address (by first entering "ipconfig/release" then "ipconfig / renew" in the command-line invite him... all orders without the quotes).

  But since you said that you are not very tech savvy, my first suggestion was the easiest... just shut everything in your network, and then restart one at a time by starting with your ISP device, router, and other devices. If the problem persists after that, then more troubleshooting (as described in the previous paragraph) would be necessary.

  I hope this helps to clarify the issue for you. If you have any questions, please post them and I'll try to answer.

• Windows 7 - error message from the address conflict IP appears periodically. Error message "another computer on the network has the same IP address as this computer.

  Error message "another computer on the network has the same IP address as this computer. Contact you network administrator for help resolving this issue. More details are available in the Windows system event log"

  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.

  Hi Figgerty,

• Hi there is a box keeps coming up saying that another computer has the same IP as mine? What does that mean. ??

  A box is constantly on my computer screen saying that another computer has the same IP as mine and I need to contact windows for help.  What this means please.

  Thank you Michelle.

  The error means exactly what it says: there is another PC on your LAN that has the same IP as the PC you are using.  If you're in a work environment, speak to your personal network.

  Yes.  One or both may not work properly.  If you use static IP ADDRESS a simple reboot of all devices should correct this.

• After syncing firefox from one laptop computer to the other, I repeatedly get syncted phone has the same IP address as the original. Reverse?

  One of the results of these two laptops with the same IP address was that the original laptop computer proxy settings have been changed and I could not get into the internet. After you restore the default proxy settings, I again had access to the internet, but two laptops always have the same IP address.

  You do not use DHCP to automatically assign different IP addresses?

• 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.
