There is an IP address conflict with another system on the network?

Dear Friends;

I am getting an error pop up from the system tray. Which says:

Windows - System Error " There is an IP address conflict with another system on the network."

I have two windows xp Pro sp2 on my computer . I have a ADSL (PPPE0) Internet connection and my modem is Symphony -SY800C.

This error is coming up on my desk top computer sometime (in both windows ) that I am surfing on the Internet.

I have not other computer at home and I did not use any Network.

Can someone give me some ideas as to what i need to do to resolve this conflict.

Thanks in advance!!!

What you wrote is a tad confusing. You say that you have two Window XP Pro sp2 on your computer, does this mean you have a dual boot system with two copies of the same OS?

I believe your issue is that both OS versions are attempting to receive an IP address and your ISP may be assigning only one, which they are "fighting" over. lol

Usually, when people dual boot OSs they use different versions. It is possible that the second copy is requesting an IP address to be able to establish a viable connection, and because this version is on the same computer it keeps receiving the same IP address as the other version, which would cause a confusing and a conflict.

It sounds like your dual boot and network configuration is not correct. I would suggest you contact the technical department of your ISP for assistance, but I am pretty sure that the Level 1 and level 2 technicians will not know how to help you. These levels of technicians don't know as much as they should, but you will be required to work with them until they say that your issue is more than they can deal with and select to "escalate" your issue to the next level, which will be level 2, and then level 2 will need to work with you until s/he states that s/he needs to "escalate" your issue, and only then will you finally reach a technician who might be able to assist you.

Due to the daul nature of your system the technician will need to have experiance in setting up proper network connections for both. It is possible that setting a Static IP for one version and allowing the modem/router to assign for the other might resolve your issue.

You will first need to find out what your IP address range is from the DHCP Server. Once you discover this range you can then set a Static IP which is in the high upper range so that there isn't any chance of having a conflict.

Right click on your connection icon in the notification area and select Statis, when the dialog box appears click on the Support tab. On the Support tab locate your Default Gateway address and write it down. That is the beginning of your address range. In Private IP addessing you will have a total of 255 addresses available for assignment. Choose one up in the higher range for your Static address.

I am unsure if you are using Private IP addressing, or if your ISP has assigned you multiple Public IP addresses. You can discover this from your ISP.

It is possible that due to the dual boot configuration you have that you require at least two Public IP addresses from your ISP. You might have to pay more for this, and you may not, it depends on your ISP policy.

I suggest you phone your ISP and discuss this with the technical department. You can attempt to request a higher technician sooner than they might be willing to say you need one. Just be polite and they should help you out.

Good luck and much success fixing your conflict issue. Have a nice day and a happy New Year.

If you only have the one machine at home, that is very odd. Also sounds like you are using a hardwired connection and not Wireless, so that rules out a neighbor using your connection too.

Try this:

Start menu %26gt; Run

Type in CMD

Then type in ipconfig/release

Then type in ipconfig/renew

This will assign your machine with a new IP address.
???

You can assign a PC a static address; that will prevent IP address conflicts, but I really dont understand how you have your system configured.
On your network there is another computer which is having same IP address of your computer...

Open router options and Enabled DHCP server annd change your TCP/IP settings to Obtain IP address automatically....
If your connected directly to your modem, you should release and renew your IP address. It may be someone on your local segment that is trying to hijack your IP address. Basically, if you surf the Internet, your ISP knows it's you by your IP address because their server assigns it and logs it to your modem. If your computer is shut down, someone can put your IP address in their computer and the ISP thinks it's you. This only works if your on the same segment, but it does work.
You might need a new network card. They are dirt cheap. I had two computers at work with the same problem so I just order new nic from newegg.
