"There's an IP address conflict with another system on the network"

[Andrew]

Hello folks,

I recently upgraded my wireless. I currently have 3
notebooks and a printer on this wireless. However, one of
the XP Professional notebooks keeps on popping a "Windows-
System Error: There's an IP address conflict with another
system on the network". It pops it at the lower right
part of the screen as little bubble-message.

What is this and how may I eliminate this annoying
message? I tried a lot but I failed!

Your help is appreciated.

You might check the properties of your network connections - this generally
occurs when you have two machines on the same network set to be the internet
connection gateway for all other machines.

Make sure your notebook is connecting to ONLY your router
and not a neighbour's. If necessary, change the name (or
SSID) of your router to avoid conflicts.
