    I have a computer upstairs and downstairs and for some reason lately I have been getting and error saying something along the lines of "There is an IP Address error resulting from another compter" I have the computer downstairs connected with a Wireless Linksys Router and the computer upstairs wirelessly connected to the internet, Im guessing this has something to do with it. Does any body have any ideas on why this is happening?

    EDIT: I'll post a screenshot of the error message next time it pops up.

    Is your network secured? Sounds like someone else is trying/using the IP address.

    Hmmm, I think it is just both the computers in my house using the same one. I hope my nieghbours are using my connection but just to be sure, How do I secure my network?

    Type 198.168.1.1 in your web browser. That will bring up the configuration for the router. You can set it using that.
