Windows 7 wireless connection TC/PIP conflict

Hello all,
I have a Windows 7 laptop that connects to a wireless router system in an 18 story tower. Most of the time it connects fine. Today is it indicating a T/CPIP conflict.
I have removed the wireless network
I have tried 'diagnose' the wireless network connection, in 'Network Connections'
I have removed the network and powered down the laptop

Any suggestions to help me get this reconnected? I don't want to remove the adapter in Device manager, I would have to reconfigure my VPN.

Conflict with another IP? Is it configured as a static? Can you ping the address you receive from another system when you disconnect? I think there is just a duplicate IP or an issue with the wireless router. One thing you can do is remove the wireless connection from your laptop in the wireless properties and try doing a fresh connect.

You need to check the DHCP server and see who has the IP address or you could set it up as a static IP.

Addendum
I just ran an elevated Command prompt and entered
NETSH INT IP RESET
IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS

Rebooted. Getting the same error. Specifically it is "Wireless network connection does not have a valid IP configuration"

This is essentially a simple setup. In there basement there is only a sonicwall firewall that accepts the internet connection from Comcast. It goes out to a POE network switch. There are wireless routers on each of the 18 floors that give out IPs to wireless connections
