IP Conflict

[Ariadne]

Anyone know what causes this?

This is my hardwired home computer ... there's a wireless router with a laptop and a game system attached. Anyone know if this is coming from my machine, or my internet provider?

Neither, your router is handing out the same IP to 2 different devices on your network. Reboot your computer (hard boot) and it should grab a new IP when it boots back up.

You can right click on your network icon...bottom right hand corner of your screen and select repair, in which case to comuter will release and renew it's address (hope I'm using the right terms)
or Turn off everything and turn them on one at a time starting with the router.
