Question E3000: "duplicate name.

New Member here - hi.  I bought an E3000 router to replace a competing product that had begun to lose its settings sporadically.  For what it's worth, the device is connected to three connections - my main office, my backup of Windows Home Server machine and printer in network - and wired talks to a bunch of laptops wireless.

I've changed the SSID - I guess that Cisco calls it the "network name" - which I currently use, and this changed du.1 subnet for the sous-reseau.2 to avoid having to diddle the fixed addresses on Windows Home Server box and the network printer.  Perhaps it is relevant; Maybe not.

The problem is that many (not all) laptops to connect and generate a Windows warning box, "a duplicate name exists on the network.  Obviously, laptops have individual names; There is no duplicate.  As an experiment, I took one of them on the Working Group, giving it another name of garbage for the Working Group, and now I can't put it back in the Working Group expected due to the problem of "duplicate name".

This issue rings a Bell with anyone?  A quick search of the forum here didn't come with anything promise immediately.

I've never done the spokesperson.  After a factory reset operation failed improve things, I changed the name of the network, as long as I liked one that I had used and all my problems went away.  He has collaborated with no complaints from any of the multiple wired and wireless computers.

I'm still at a loss to explain that has been cached names and fool the router.

    Hi Alweed,

    You can try the following steps and check:

    a. right click on desktop

    b. click Properties

    c. click on the computer name tab at the top.

    d. check the 'display name' of each computer in question and make sure they are unique.

    (e) if they are not, click on the button 'change'. (If not, replace the name of one of the computers)

  • When I turn on my computer, I get this message, "a duplicate name exists on the network."

    I've had this name for years, what happened?

    Thanks for the reply.  No, the computer name and workgroup name are not the same.  Should they be?

    No, if they were the same, which can cause the error you see.

    I can't guess any further, unless you answer the other questions.

    The error is a complaint that another device on any network to which your computer is connected has the same name as the 'full name' shown in system properties.

    Although there are utilities that scan your network and to report the names of connected devices, they are somewhat nonsimple to use and probably would not work on a computer that will expose the error your report.

    If your computer is on a home network, share an Internet connection using a router, you can manually check all other devices.  You don't maybe not easily able to determine the 'computer name' no computer network devices, but it is highly unlikely that such a device, for example, a network printer, called "Lamb stew Computer" or else you might have named your computer.

    Just to be sure there isn't something special going, disconnect your computer from your network (or your Internet connection) and then it reboot.  The duplicate name error should NOT appear if the computer is not connected to a network.

  • Duplicate name on the network with WRT160N v1

    I get the error "a duplicate name exists on the network" on all my computers.  I just started getting this error about a week ago.  I don't change anything on the network and have had this router WRT160N v1 (with the latest version of the firmware) for about 6 months now.  I spoke with Linksys support and they told me to rename all my computers and reboot the router... which only bypassed the question for 1 day.    In addition to the inconvenience of the error, the only thing it crashes me to connect to any other computer via a mapped network drives.  Print on network printers and internet work very well.

    I wonder if a Windows Update is the cause of this, but not sure.

    Here is my network configuration:

    I have a simple network of peer to peer with 5 workstations and 1 portable wireless.

    All workstations use DHCP except 1 which behaves like a file server with a static IP address.

    All the workstations are XP Pro and laptop is Vista professional.

    WRT160N v1 router DHCP running

    Help or direction would be great!

    I guess when you renamed your computers, you have given a different name to each computer and restarted the entire network after the name change.  If this isn't the case, it is the cause of your problem.

    What LAN IP address static (fixed) do you use for your server?   What is your range of DHCP server?    If you use "DHCP Réservation" to give your server a static LAN IP address, then the address must be within the range of the DHCP server.  However, if you have assigned manually your server an address LAN IP fixed, by entering information in the server, then this fixed LAN IP address must be outside the range of the DHCP server, and it may not end with 0, 1 and 255.

    At least part of your problem (drive mapping) sounds like a problem with computer software firewall.  Go to the software firewall for computer on each computer and set it to "trust", other computers on your network.

    Using an unsecured wireless network?  If so, maybe your neighbor put his computer to use one of your computer names, and it connects to your network (accidentally or intentionally).   If you have an unsecured wireless network, secure it.

    In addition, check the MAC addresses on all your cards, ethernet and wireless adapters and see if both is the same.   Surprisingly, some manufacturers do not give MAC addresses unique to their network devices and perhaps is to confuse the router.

    In addition, you use a wireless Repeater in your network?  Sometimes this problem with duplicated names occurs when a wireless Repeater is used.  Yet once, if you have an unsecured wireless network, maybe your neighbor runs the Repeater of fire!

    Do one of the computers that are connected to the router, also have a wireless adapter?  If so, make sure it's off.

    If you would like more information, please state the brand and exact model of the card number wireless laptop.

  • Allow duplicate names

    Hi all

    Is it possible to know if my database allows members in double names without adding a duplicate to the sketch name. In short... I created a database of long back. I donot remember I activated the option "Allow duplicate names" at that time. Now I need to find this information without any test on the way.
    Sorry if my question sounds stupid!

    Kind regards

    Hello

    Open the outline in EAS and look at the Properties tab, it will show "Double names allowed members" - true or false

  • duplicate name exists on the network: can spy on me

    I get this error message on an existing when duplicate name that I start.
    I read the patches for this, but what I'm wondering is...
    Assuming that the name "duplicate" is another computer, we are related in any way other than
    by name and network? I want to know if Name2 (the other) is aware of name1 (me) regarding
    like keystrokes, passwords, navigation, etc. ? What is the possibility exists for a name
    'spy' on the other? -I'm on a wireless home network.
    Because the error messages began, an oddity came with them... many times I have to
    Click a button a second time, then wait for 1-2 seconds, whereas before, a simple left click
    has brought an immediate response. Are us bogged down each other?

    Let us know if the issue of the double name reappears; It should not.

    I suspect that your mouse is having mechanical problems. Are you using the left button of the mouse much (for example, in games)?  Or there may be a foreign substance (dirt) in the switch.

    If you have another mouse, you can try for a while to see if the problem persists with another mouse.  You can also go in Control Panel > mouse and (temporarily) the right switch and buttons to the left of the mouse - but this is not something you want to probably keep for any significant amount of time and if the problem occurs only intermittently, you may not be able to definitively determine that it does not occur when you use the right button to the usual left button functions.

    The error is a complaint that another device on any network to which your computer is connected to has the same name that the 'full name' shown in system properties (I assume that it is also possible that the error reports that there are two devices on the network with the same name even if none of these devices your computer).

  • How can I check the NDP project duplicate name?


    Hi all

    I would like to know how I can check the NDP duplicate project name? I find that some NDP is initiate serveral times with the same or similar user name name. Assuming that the name of the project was "Smart Pilot". I've always found that this project can type differently as "Smart DRIVER", "smart pilot" or even "Smart drivers. Assuming I want to validate all these name before saving by using validation or custom validation infrastructure. Is this possible?

    Assuming that it was possible, can you please guide me on the way?

    Thank you very much in advance for the entire response.

    Then, add the following to the ValidationSettings.xml file in config\Extensions:

    1. Add the validator factory, with a reference name in the config:

    
            
            
    
    

    2. Add a rule for NDP project save the event:

    
                
                    
                
    
    

    Compile the example reference in a dll and add this dll in web\npd\bin

    When you try to save a project with a duplicate name, it should now give you the error message.

  • A duplicate name exists on the network

    Hello

    We are trying to install a 4.6 view environment and am getting an error on my VMs that a duplicate name exists on the network. The pool does not composer and is automated with assignment of the user of floating. I created a template which is Windows XP and on our field. Research on virtual machines that there where to create the pool, they each kept the model name VM's DNS name is following my pattern of naming. Is it possible to have virtual machine created by the pool GET a new name?

    You must use sysprep/quickprep to rename the guest operating system: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2003797

    I think that you can only use quickprep with linked clones, so you need to use sysprep:

    1. download Microsoft sysprep (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838080)

    2. you will need to prepare your sysprep answer file (it is a good guide: http://capitalhead.com/articles/force-sysprep-to-prompt-for-a-computer-name-during-mini-setup-in-windows-xp.aspx)

    3. If you are using the guide above and you let the ComputerName = * in place, it will automatically generate a new name for the computer for you.  If you remove the * you will need to enter a computer name whenever a new virtual machine is created.  Not exactly ideal because it is supposed to be automatic, but at least you would get a control.

    4. install the deployment tools XP on your server vCenter (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep\xp)

    5 load your Sysprep.inf in your 'customization specifications' within the VI client.

    This gives you a name generated randomly for each virtual computer.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a way to make this name match the pattern specified in the pool.  I gave up at the end and switched to linked Clones as it makes the whole process a million times easier
