Windows XP IP address conflict warning.

[Guest]

I recently subscribed to DSL for my internet connection and am connecting
wirelessly from two computers. Everything seems to be working fine at the
moment except that every once in awhile I get a yellow triangle warning
telling me that "There is an IP address conflict with another system on the
network". I have called my service provider, the manufacturer of my router,
and the maufacturer of my wireless adapter, but no-one has yet solved the
problem.

Both computers are running Windows XP Home and the Internet Protocal for
both machines is set to "Obtain an IP address automatically".

The only other active item under network connections is a "1394 Net Adapter"
which, after "googling it" I figure must be my firewire??? The Local Area
Connection is disabled as I do not use it, and the icon for my old dial-up
service is also disabled.

How do I find and resolve this conflict so I no longer get this message?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

You need to check the 2 PCs and the router. One of these three devices may
have a duplicate IP address of one of the other devices.

Each PC should have its own (and different) IP address and the router should
have its own, outside of the DHCP range.


PC1 -- 192.168.1.100
PC2 -- 192.168.1.101

router -- 192.168.1.1
