IP conflict problem with my computer?

This occurs when two or more computers on the same LAN network end up with the same IP address. When this occurs, both computers end up not being able to connect to network.There are a few ways in which this problem can be fixed.If it is Static IP request your ISP for a change of IP.If it is a Dynamic IP you can try resetting your modem by switching ON and OFF the modem or open the command prompt and type “ipconfig /release,” which dumps the automatic address it had, and then “ipconfig /renew,” which gets a new address.To check for the change in IP you can visit Ip-details.com which gives your public Ip when you visit the site.

Sounds like the router is not configured/plugged in properly. Check your settings on the router. Make sure the modem is plugged into the “WAN” (Internet, External) port, and all the computers are plugged into the LAN ports. Sounds like you have the modem plugged into the LAN port – it is just acting as a switch which means you only get the one IP assigned by your ISP. A router is supposed to use the one IP you get from the ISP, on the WAN port, not your computers – and give all computers on the LAN a new, private IP address. The router then manages the translation and traffic control between your home network and the outside ISP network. If you were mis-wired, fix the wiring and power off the modem and router. Power up the ISP modem first, wait 3-5 minutes, then turn on the router. Then reboot all the PCs…
