received the warning that another computer using my ip, what should I do

was told to check the "events" do not know how to do, someone could access illegal sites using my IP addresas

Hi Erica,

Who or what exactly said you this?  You know the program who informed you?  How it was done?  What was the exact message entirely and verbatim?  You are using a wireless router and is it secure?  Contact your ISP with this and the appropriate codes.

Please see the thread below for a possible solution: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-networking/another-computer-on-my-network-has-the-same-ip/6ecaf994-1748-e011-9575-d8d385dcbb12.

To check the events, go to Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer.  Search for events related to the network (probably under the system, but may also Applications).  See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749408.aspx for more detailed help.

For what it's worth, in this case only really with local networks. Your internet connection TCP/IP address is unique and there is no way he can go to the other - it is not possible (but if someone is made to your router or a computer in your network, they can access the internet via your internet connection a kind it would use the internet TCP/IP address assigned from your ISP).

I hope this helps.  Please consider reposting at: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/networking?tab=all for assistance.

Good luck!

    I recently bought Lightroom and installed on one of my computers. I tried to install the program on another computer, I, using the same serial number that I already bought and I am not accepted as it says that the SN is invalid. What should I do?

    It is possible that you downloaded the demo of creative cloud of Lightroom. The perpetual license key will not work. Uninstall the version on the second computer, it doesn't bother your catalog, preferences and personal files.

    Download the appropriate version from the link below and install them, your license key is accepted and everything will be fine.

  • 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.

  • How can I fix the problem when another computer is using the same IP address with me?

    My computer has proven to me that there is another computer using my IP address.

    He said I need to contact the administrator.
    I don't know how to do in this regard. Help, please.

    Since it's your own home network, it means you are the network administrator. Which basically means that you should have total control on who can and can not connect to internet through this network.

    Then, you should have a router somewhere in your House. This is the device that sends the wireless signal. Most likely, it will be connected to a phone jack or cable from the wall, or a modem, depending on which company you get your internet service.

    You need to find this device, the router and restart for it. Do the same on your computer. Once both have restarted, try to connect to the internet. The router must have an ID written somewhere on it. This same ID should appear in your network and sharing Center , if you click on "Connect To A Network.

    The homegroup is something a little different. A homegroup is really just a collection of your own computers, or in your home. For example, if you had a desktop and a laptop, and I wanted to share the files from one to the other, you should join them in the same homegroup. It has nothing to do with putting on the Internet, just the connection of two computers together. It of good that you set up a homegroup with a password, but won't really help you here.

  • 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.

    I called and Microsoft went through basically the same things that you suggested.

    We did a system restore (at an earlier date) and fortunately he fixed itrself. I'm good to go.

    Who knows why it happened.

  • Receive the 25 (Null) error when using Flightsimulator FSX

    Receive the 25 (Null) error when using Flightsimulator FSX

    Hello

    Try to open the it to start - all programs - Games - Games Explorer, and then clicking the icon FSX.

    A disk error of 25 means that the program cannot read your disk reading.  Either the disc is scratch, dirty or defective.  If you need another drive, or you can try it on another computer. The message of Visual elements of Vista is not serious.  Vista will automatically your screen to a basic compatible mode when the application is launched.  However, it seems that your game is a failure due to the disk error and not the Vista display problem. Try to clean the disc and see if that helps.

    Last resort, it seems you'd have to do a complete uninstall and reinstall FSX.

    Cheers!

  • I have different bookmarks I want to keep on each computer, synchronization will delete the bookmarks on a single computer and replace the bookmarks from another computer in their place

    I have not yet used sync, but I sense it's going to be a problem if I do. I have different bookmarks I want to keep it on each computer. Sync will delete the bookmarks on a single computer and replace the bookmarks from another computer in their place? So I think that will erase the bookmarks on the second computer you configured to synchronize. Is there a way to merge bookmarks on every computer in the library of a bookmark that contains all bookmarks on both computers, so I'm not all bookmarks in sync?

    Just to be clear, this is something that we have commented several times in the forum, Firefox Sync adds everything that is already in the device for the account and pushes this info for the rest of the devices.

    So if you have 2 computers with data X and the other with the data from there, once you set up synchronization in both computers you will have X + Y at the same time.

    I hope that clarifies the doubts...

    If you are on a home network restart all computers and the router, to recover unless you use the static IP address.  If you are unsure what is static IP you're probably not.
