IP conflict due to old fix IP Matt 12/30/2008 10:41:01 AM Hi I had this problem a few years ago but have forgotten how to solve it. I have looked at all the forums out on the net and no one is able to solve it, only advise is to use a different ip address which is not really a solution. I have a windows xp sp2 pc and am trying to set a fixed ip address for it. The network connection is appearing as "local area connection 2". When I set the ip address it tells me that another nic on the computer has the same ip and it could cause an issue do i want to continue. I know that this is caused by the "local area connection 1" still being remembered by windows which had this same ip address set for it - I remember there was a way to go into advance settings or something and remove it from memory as it remembers it for when you put the network card that is associated with these settings back in the pc. Hopefully someone can help me with this thanks

If you have few computers with a Network please describe what you have. In many cases such problem comes from a static IP that is assigned with a number that is within a Cable/DSL Router's DHCP server.
