I got a pop up msg that another pc on network has same IP address ... what to do?

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,
 
 

Thank you .... The mesg I got was :
No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection 2 while it has it's media disconnected
No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection while it has its media disconnected
 
Anything else I can do and is this a dangerous situation for me?

Hello,
 
Sorry Terrance55.. maybe @@ or @ could intercede here and give some further information.
 
Can't you go to the hotel desk and explain you are having troubles connecting to there Internet Service?
