Address conflict with both Win98 and Win2k... Help!

[Elledan]

Before I installed Win2k, I got this error a lot of times, but in win2k I didn't get it. Until yesterday...

Can anyone help me on this?

This comes from the event viewer of Win2k (from the second time that I got the error, today thus)

Means somebody else on your network is using your IP address.
What kind of network are you on?
Do you have a static or dynamic IP?

Static IPs: Contact your sysadmin with that information...they should have the tools to take care of it.
Dynamic IPs: Take a shot at grabbing a new IP (turn computer off for a bit, then reboot; in win98, use winipcfg to release/renew IP; in win2k, use ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew in a dos window; reset cable/dsl modem...)

I've a cable modem with a static IP address (d'oh).

I've a small LAN (two PCs, one server (the one with the problem) and one client (win98)) and cable internet.

Thanks for your help so far!
