Error Message

by Captianbreaker Jan 30, 2006 7:49AM PST

I recently hooked up two computers using a wired router, one running Windows XP and one running Windows 98 after having a very hard time attatching the ends to my own cable I finnaly got it to work...for a while after about two days of working fine I decided to try to make the two computers file share and I dont know what I did but now when ever I try to get online on the Windows 98 computer I get this message:

"The System Has Detected A Conflict for IP Adress 68.77.108.35 With The System Having Hardware Adress 00:40:F4:14:21:26."

and the Windows XP computer worked for a couple of days after I first started getting this message and today my modem support tool told me to un hook the router because it was having trouble connecting.

Can anyone help me with this?
