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.

In a Network if you have 10 computers and you have assigned same IP address for more than one computer this is called IP Conflict. Then there will be a conflict in the Network.

You will need to log into your router/modem, and make sure that you have DHCP enabled. This allows the router to assign each machine/mac address it's own IP address, so they do not conflict.
