Another machine has a duplicate ip?
About once or twice a week the laptop I am using now presents the message that another computer is using the same IP address as this one. Most of the time I have 3 or 4 computers online in different rooms. I also have my ethernet going to Dish Network and Roku. Is the message I am receiving something I should be concerned about? If your answer is YES then how should I proceed to find a remedy?

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.
Hello John, I am afraid that I am not even near your level of expertise on this trouble. ( Obviously ) So I do not know how to utilize the information you have provided to me. I can give more info, but if you could go a little more in depth with your assistance I would appreciate it.
This laptop has not left my home for over one month now. I am 1/4 mile from the next home in the country. I will open the router and snoop around and see if I can see anything unusual and get back to you. Thanks!

Well in that case you will need a helping hand...
Get this application AngryIpScanner
Just scan the network to see who has the IP...in order to perform this is better to change your IP to another distinct static IP.

Angry IP Scanner works.
I use Advanced IP Scanner (Famatech - http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/) . It works very well scanning for IP addresses.

My router is only two months old. It is a monster Linksys model EA9500. I will get the software you recommend, but please comment on something for me. Is the reason for this warning trying to let me know that I am POSSIBLY being hacked or monitored? Or that someone is trying to use my ethernet?
Log into the administration section of your router and make sure Remote Management is either OFF (default) or fully secured with a strong password. Then you likely will not be hacked.
Duplicate IP addresses might come from smart phones. Our iPhones tried to steal the IP addresses I was using for my computers. I eventually gave my iPhones Static IP addresses on our home network (cellular everywhere else) and all is working fine,

John & John -- B I N G O ! I am fairly sure you have hit upon the problem. Just yesterday I was attempting to get a duplicate smartphone to access Google Play but with my single account. Only needed an app. I looked and the phone was still on. My Remote Management is off. I am still going to get the software. THANKS EXPERTS!

Also there is the solution of assigning static IPs to devices that not change position (i reckon that you take the laptop outside your house so you need to connect dynamically)
