IP Address conflict

kangkan · 10-18-2007, 02:06 AM

Hi,
I have a lan connection to my computer. It was working fine but from last 2 weeks it has been behaving peculiarly.Every 2 days all of sudden the connection stops and a system error notice pops up and says that there is a conflict of same IP address with another computer in the network. After i switch of the computer and restart after 4 or 5 hrs the problem resolves. I can't find out what the problem is .Please help,
Regards,
Kangkan.

Please supply the following info, exact make and models of the equipment please.

Make and model of the broadband modem.
Make and model of the router.
Connection type, wired or wireless.
If wireless, encryption used, (none, WEP, WPA, or WPA2)
Make/model of network card or wireless adapter.
Make/model of your computer (motherboard if home-built).
Version and patch level of Windows on all machines on the network, i.e. XP-Home (or XP-Pro), SP2, Vista, etc.

If you have wireless and it's not encrypted, you may have a freeloader.
