Hello to all! I am a computer lab assistant and have just joined a few days ago. From past three classes, my students are complaining about two systems unable to connect to the internet. Also, there is a message that says IP address conflict error. I am unable to fix this issue. Please help me out. Thanks in advance!
Tackle IP Address Conflict Error In Few Easy Steps.
hey! If you are troubled by this error, then it means that those two systems are by mistake allotted the same IP address. When this happens, it disconnects both the systems from the internet. Here are a few conditions with their solutions:
Method 1:
It might figure itself out, but since you have mentioned that the problem is prevailing from quite a long time, then I don’t think it will make up anytime soon.
Method 2:
There are two types of IP addresses: static and dynamic. Static addresses are manually set up and are constant. While latter changes every time the system restarts. If these IP addresses are dynamic then resetting the router will do the job.
Method 3:
If the IP addresses are static, then you can release the IP addresses from the Command Prompt. You can follow the procedure to do the same:
- Command Prompt > type ipconfig/release > press enter
You will have a new IP address for your PC.
Hope this helps!
