Same IP-adress

Thehenkieman · July 2012

I just got a message from my computer saying that some other computer has the same IP-adress.. Since I don't know much about this subject, could this harm my computer or the stuff i do on it?

You got a message on your computer? How?

Sounds like you may have a virus

It's a message from Windows, I'll try to translate it as good as I can,

''Network failure
An IP-adressconflict(?) has been detected
A computer in this network has the same IP-adress as this computer. Contact the holder of the network for support on fixing this problem. Look at the system's event-logbook for more information. ''
I really don't know what to think of this..

First thing that came up when I googled it

Mabye it's a ip error.

I have never heard of 2 people being able to share an ip address.

I guess (hope) my laptop detected one of the other computers in the house that are using the same LAN.

Thanks for the help so far guys.

Yes, its most likely that. i have 2 laptops 5 feet from each other, and i get that "same ip" message like twice a week

Same, but it looked suspicious since the other laptops are already using this LAN for like 2 years and it just occured.
