"Windows has detected an IP address conflict"

This continues to pop up on my computer. I have changed internet services. How do I correct this problem. "It says thatanother computer on this network has the same IP address as this computer. Contact you network administrator for help resolving this issue. More details are available in the Windows System event log." I do not know what to do.

Hi Champions05,

Do you have Service pack installed for Windows Vista?

I would suggest you to use the below provided methods and check - **Method 1:**You can get a new IP address for your computer. You might need to do this if you are having connection problems.

a. Click Start. Type cmd in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.

b. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

ipconfig /all (there is a space between ipconfig and /)

The ipconfig /all command displays Windows TCP/IP settings for all your network adapters.

c. ipconfig /release in the command prompt and press ENTER. This releases your current IP address.

d. ipconfig /renew in the command prompt and press ENTER.

The DHCP configuration for all adapters will be renewed. To renew the IP address for a

specific adapter, type the adapter name that appears when you type ipconfig at the command prompt.

Method 2: If the issue persists and you do not have Windows Vista Service Pack installedthen you may refer to the below link and check if using the hot fix assists you resolve the issue -

Hope this helps.

I have the same question/situation

another computer with the same IP address that my computer has. How to resolve this problem?

I called my Internet provider and they say they don't find any issues . Every damn week I have problems maybe I should not be so loyal to Microsoft as I pay for some service that never fixes anything and on top of that now their Tech. is trying to take over my computer to have me give them my banking numbers and to sign up with some connect wise 13 I have looked this up on my own and they are scamming people I think you best grab hold of this as the first things out of their mouths is Hi I am the guy that got you all fixed up before with Microsoft and now we have a newer version to load on you. I find you just as responsible and I can't ever get my computer issue that you contact me about Fixed so you are not doing me any good, Straighten this CRAP OUT AND DO IT NOW
