I have 2 computers on a router at home. this message pops up at startup,
I close it and all is fine, but how do I correct this problem? Windows
website help is just a never-ending circle of uselessness. Any takers?
 
Do both computers have the same name? You can check the name of the computer
by going to Start > Control Panel > System > Computer Name (tab).

This can also happen unintentionally if you restored both computers from the
same image.
