Windows "system error" message ----just keeps popping up.

[mrhangster]

It's been awhile since I've visited this group. I know there are some real
good Microsoft people who have helped me in the past. Hope they are still
around. Sure like to find out how to stop this window from popping over
and over. I have XP home edition. 2-yrs old., Serv. pack 2, -have
3-computers networked wireless using Linksys. "b" Never have had any
problem with it all until now--The error message says
"There is an IP address conflict with another system on the network"
I've tried help and support to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Thankyou for any and all help

You might want to assign IP addresses manually or shut everything down and
start it back up.

Hi,

Check the IP addresses of the computers in your network using the 'IPCONFIG'
command in the comamnd prompt. Check for duplicate IPs. If no, some other
computer should be trying to access your network. Secure your network using
WPA.

Thankyou Arun--I checked all 3 of my pcs and the ip addresses are all
different. Guess I gota work on the WPA thing. Thankyou again for the
Microsoft link and your help.
You guys are the best.

couple hours. Hmmmm! My computers ip addresses look okay (no
uplicates) --so guess I'm gona take a look at the WPA thing.
