Do you have DHCP enabled?? Or you are using Static IP??

Are you sure you didn't connected another device to your network which uses same IP as your PC??

Well it means what it says :
Another computer on this network has the same IP address as this computer.

If you are using cable services for net browsing, this can be a common problem .. You may try ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew if you use DHCP .. If you use static ip .. then someone else is trying to use the same ip on the network .. You can find the guy and beat him up .. or .. Take a new ip address ..

Are you using a router/wifi radio device. It is assigning the same IP to 2 different devices. DHCP must be on.

maybe there is some problem with the connection settings on your computer.
goto the properties of your connection (the one which is connected to the modem) and open the TCP/IP settings from there. what is there?

You set IP's for both your systems. And then plug them into the router. Any ways, are you getting this error repeatedly. Even I get it like once in 2 months. I just switch on device off, or reboot the router. Am on DHCP too.

Na, it is just your router assigning same IPs to two devices. You have the password security on right for access to radio...?

Understood....I can see the error message logged in eventviewer in detail
with conflicting IP address & the MAC Address of user to whom it was assigning...:grin:

Every time I connect to net I get a window of network group & it say Network 17 & sometimes Network 24 etc...???

That would probably be the network name for your router which Win7 is understanding. Just delete all and keep one which is your routers.
