Hello,
I have 2 laptops and am having trouble connecting both to the internet at the same time, I get the message " there is an IP address conflict with another system on the network" any help would be really appreciated.

Maybe one of the computers has been used with Windows Internet Connect Sharing which messes up the IP address. Disable ICS (see Windows Help).

Also check TCP/IP Properties.

Start, Connect To, Connection, Properties, Scroll Down TCP/IP and highlight, click Properties and check that Obtain DNS and IP address automatically are enabled.
