IP Address Conflict

Today two of our computers have received this message:

The system detected an address conflict for IP address
x.x.x.x with the system having network hardware address
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. Network operations on this system may
be disrupted as a result.

Rebooting the computer receiving the message seems to
solve the problem. However, when checking the DNS Forward
Lookup Zones after the second time that this happened, I
saw that there was a specific IP address allocated to two
different computers.

We have a single Win2000 Server which is the PDC and acts
as the DNS server. DHCP is controlled by a Cisco 675
which acts as the internet gateway.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
No, all computer names are different (not even close).
One of the computers in question uses WinXP Pro, the other
is Win2000 Pro.
