What do I look like? Your network administrator? Haha. Just kidding. Which version of windows are you running?

Try to release and renew ip address from command prompt.
-Press the start button
-type cmd
-right-click and "run as administrator"
-type ipconfig /release
-type ipconfig /renew
After that, you should be good to go.

For future reference, all this means is that there are two computers (or a computer/printer/fax/etc) that are running on the same ip address. If you were to shut down all computers, then reboot router, and then turn all computers back on, it normally resolves itself. But the ipconfig release/renew is a quicker method that sometimes works.

If you wanted to check what two were running on the same ip, you could go to the default router ip address, 192.168.1.1 and dig through the settings there and find the list of attached devices and mac addresses. While you're there you could change the default password also to make it a little harder for someone to jack your WiFi password =X.
