I keep getting an error message saying "IP address conflict with another system on network" how to fix this??

Answer 1

If you have a fixed IP address, you need to talk to your network admin and have them assign you a new address.

If you have a DHCP address, meaning that it's dynamically assigned, you should release and renew your IP address.

If you are on Windows XP, go to your control panel. Find Network connections and open it. Find the connection you are using, most likely "Local Area Connection". Right click on it and select repair from the context menu.

Answer 2

It sounds as if you have a fixed IP address, not provided by a DHCP server. Does someone look after your network? How many other people share this network? If two or more have the same fixed IP address then they start conflicting. If all the folks are close together one nontechnical way is to wait till you get the message, reboot and see who else gets the problem when you take back the address. Or if there are only a few, just check everyone's settings.

Answer 3

You'll need to investigate your network settings. Check the properties of your Network, specifically the TCP/IP settings. You'll most likely want to go with automatic settings... This should be the default unless you or someone has changed it. Some hardware on your network somewhere has a manually configured address that you're conflicting with... And if you were on automatic this would assign you another, so you've most likely got two manuals configured conflicting...

If this is on any other than a home network, you may want to notify the administrator. If this is your home network, please try asking again, listing what network components you use. Such as how many computers, if you use/ what type of router/switch/hub, etc.

Answer 4

1st thing to try is

Go to the command prompt ( click on start, run, type "cmd", click o.k.

type the following command

ipconfig /release

then type

ipconfig /renew

if that doesn't work redo the "ipconfig /release command"
and then restart the computer.

If that doesn't work...check everyother computer on the network until you find the one with the duplicate.

go to the command prompt, release the ip address and then shut off the computer. Do the same for yours. Then reboot one at a time.
