I am on vacation in Vietnam and just got a pop up message on my laptop that another computer on the network has the same IP address. I am staying in a hotel and using their network. Not sure what to do so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

HelloTerrance55,
Welcome to the Community Forum,
I found this in Microsoft help sitet and you might want to try this.
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.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best Regards,
