IP address conflict with another system on network??

We were having this same problem at my work place and thanks to your instructions on changing the IP address manually, I was able to fix it. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

*bethany*

I had this same problem today, all of my computers are assigned their IP addresses by DHCP. This was the first time I had ever seen this error message pop up, so I googled it and found the link to this forum. All I had to do was check all the computers to see which ones had the error message and then manually change their IP addresses. Thanks for the help!

You say: "Adjust for DHCP" but you don't say HOW. Can you expand for us neophytes?

ok i have a dell inspiron 531s with windows vita basic, I use a wirless internet, and it provided by a diffrent apartment right, well every nwo and then i get this IP address conflict. and i knwo that if you change the ip address manualy it fixes the problem in most cases but i need to know what a basic ip address and the DHCP the gateway stuff liek how that is all set up.i kwno taht there is two kinds of up there is the IP6 and IP 4 and i dotn knwo what the real diffrence is?

IP Conflict Fix Worked Perfectly For My Hardwire Tank You Very Much

how do i enter "network properties/TCP/IP address to change ip address. When i enter it into where i entered cmd/ipconfig, it says network properties is not recognized as a command?

everytime i type ipconfg in the run tab on windows 7,nothing happens,actually the run tab blinks once and dissapers.

open run and type in cmd, this will open the command line and there type in ipconfig.that solves your problem.

this is the correct command to repair ALL at once
pay attention:
after the cmd command you will get the black small screen prompting you bto type in the 2nd step:
so type in: ipconfig [[SPACE] &[THIS SLASH] / & [THAN TYPE] all
it will look at the end as:
ipconfig /all
press enter and see running white text
by the end you are dun

tnx.

I have the same problem, I just have no understanding of this system stuff, I followed your instructions to "Enter network properties / TCP/IP" but I've no idea what "and adjust the last octet to any thing different (2-254)" means I've got now -
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 4:

IP Address...... : 192.168.0.4
Subnet Mask... : 255.255.255.0

could you be so kind to help?

If the 50 posts here don't hold your answer I fear you'll have to create a new discussion detailing that you already tried the solutions here.

My problem is that this error keeps on popping up. But I have only one PC. There is not network!

Can anyone help or should I ignore this message?
This only happens in WinXP not in W98SE.

You'll have to decide which you want to use. Airtel or Ethernet.

Hi,
I am sorry I do not understand what you mean.

I have a LAN card on my PC. AIrtel is the ISP which gives me the internet connection on a ASDL connection. I had asked the support people not to put me on a "permanently on" connection. I have to use what is something similar to a normal dial-up connection procedure to connect.

The router they have supplied is connected to the LAN card by a normal (I suppose Cat 5 ) cable and not thru USB.

Though the message does not hamper any performance, it is annoying.
I have tried to ipconfig /release and /renew. Also tried rebooting the router from http:/192.168.1.1.

Beats me what else is required. Surprisingly no such occurrence on WIN98SE usage.
Thanks

Sir,Every time I open my computer a baloon says " There is an ip conflict with another system on the network"My system is single.It happened, when my pc was taken for resolving a crash.
Of course I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH MY CONNECTIONS. It is a dial up connection and a broad band one.

This worked for me - actually I uninstalled both the ethernet and wireless adapters in the Device Manager... then Scan for Changes - and it will reinstall them. Then I was able to connect!

IP conflict for 3 weeks. Tried EVERYTHING. Looked for help all over. NOTHING. Not even the "experts" @ Time Warner Cable could help me.
I tried a couple of things suggested above, but nothing. Before I threw in the towel, I thought I'd try your suggestion.
SUCCESS!
Thank you sooooooo much!

Anyone need advice, I suggest you follow this one first then try the other if this doesn't work. I have spents many hours following the others with no avail, most of the time I didnt even understand what I was suppose to be doing. Once I uninstalled the adapters then scan and the computer reinstalled them automatically I was online in no time with two laptopa running at the same time. I thought I will have to give up on my studio 1537. Am very glad and please with the above address. Sometimes the simpliest advice is the best one. thanks chris

So I am not a techie in anyway. I tried to use soe advice that was given and I got as far as seeing the IP address. I don't know where to go from here.
Someone suggested uninstalling the ethernet and wireless adapters in the device manager but I don't know where that lives.
Can anyone help?

Sadly, if a solution has not been found in 9 years I'd be surprised but we might be talking about Windows but it really does not matter.

This old post is just that. I'd try a new question in the Computer Help forum and don't forget to add detail to your post. If you don't have the skills to do what is asked, tell them and be ready for the answer to be 'take it to the shop.'

Fantastic this is the option I used. Simple easy and worked a treat

many thinks

I've been having the same "There is an IP address conflict with another system on the network" error message for the past week. The error pops up about every 4 seconds and disconnects me from VPN about every 10 minutes.

My home network consists of a Charter Communications cable modem, linksys wireless router, desktop computer and a laptop. My laptop is what consistently receives the error. The IP addresses are different on both computers so there is no conflict with them. I've been running this setup for a couple of years with no problems so I'm stumped as to what is causing it and how to resolve it. I've tried the release/renew, restarted, powered off, all but reset my modem and router which is what I will try next. Getting technical support help from Charter is next to impossible so I'm on my own. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Connie

So your IP can indeed conflict with one at work. This is proper.

Have you changed your IP numbering system to something like ...

10.0.0.x ???

I won't tell how since it's specific to your router.

Bob

Let's say your LAN IP is the usual 192.168.1.x number. A VPN to the work network is "just like" you plugging your computer in a work. It's too likely your work address scheme is 192.168.1.x and as soon as you VPN in the error will pop up.

Nothing busted (except the IT staff?)

I just started getting the same error message on my laptop on a system that has worked fine for quite a long time. The only change is that I installed Norton Internet Security 2006 on the laptop a week ago. Do you have that software? Could that be the problem?

I too get the system error regarding an IP address conflict. I have a hardwired network with only two computers and all was fine for months. We also installed the Norton package lately. Both my computers have different IP address' confirmed via run>cmd>ipconfig.

Anyone with thoughts on how to solve this most annoying problem?

There is an ip address conflict with another system on the network. I am only 13 and i have about 5 times as much computer experiance than my dad does. Buy that message comes up for about 3 days every week or so and it mainly happens on my laptop and my dad keeps having the same trouble on his. We have two laptops and one PC That get internet wirelessly and one pc that is directly conected. My dad cant do anything to help and I dont understand the directions i've seen to do it so if anyone could explain it in a simpler way it would be alot of help.


Thanks
