Subject: Ethernet/IP address problem |
Comment: I got my computer last year and since I got to school I've been using ethernet. te problem is that I can't turn my computer on while it is plugged in. If I do my computer starts in Safe Mode. When I plug the ethernet in after the computer is on I keep getting a pop up message that says there is a conflict between my IP address and the system hardware address. When that message comes up all my internet connections are disconnected and I can't do anything.

Reply: (edit)Normally if you see this error there is another computer on the network with the same IP address and it will state there is a conflict with Hardware address (address name) if you check your hardware address I am sure it will not be the same as the one listed on the error meaning somebody else on the network already is using that IP address

Reply: (edit)it may be that you have a static ip on your pc that is reserved on the network for a particular mac address - the hardware id of the network card.
if you have got a static ip on your pc then make it dhcp or a valid static while you are off the network. if it has no static entry then at a command prompt type:
winipcfg /release_all
