Another Computer Has The Same Ip Conflict Fix

What you are facing is called an IP address conflict. This happens when two computers on the same network are assigned the same IP address. In layman’s terms, an IP address is your computer’s identity on the internet. If two computers on the same network have the same IP address, then the websites can get confused about which computer requested it.

To solve this problem, you should try two things. The first thing is to wait. Most IP address conflicts can resolve themselves, but it can take a lot of time. The second thing you can do is simply restart your router. This should solve any conflicts.
