Hi,
I have 3 pcs connected to the internet via a router, just recently my
youngest has connected an xbox 360 through the router also, it seemed to be
fine at first but today when we are both online I am getting a IP Conflict
message and we both lose internet connection. When he turns off the xbox and
I restart my pc I can connect normally, any help appreciated, I have only the
most basic IT knowledge.
thanks
You may try to ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew to renew the IP
address. Or this search result may help.

power cycle the ROUTER and see if that clears the issue.

Hi
Make sure that none of the Network devices has a static IP that is within
the DHCP range of the Router.
Especially look at the X-Box Network configuration.

Gareth,
Here's where you have to get your feet wet. We're going to need to look at a
log from "ipconfig /all" from the problem computer, from one other computer, and
from the XBox, so we can compare them and diagnose the problem. Read this
article, and other linked articles, carefully.
