Or as others mentioned, just reboot...should grab a new IP via DHCP...if you are asking this question, I doubt you set up static IPs. You probably just plugged and played and things worked...so reboot and I'd say there is a good chance that error will go away.
If not, hit it REALLY hard with a hammer...that usually fixes most computer problems.
If that doesn't fix it, you didn't hit it hard enough, put some back into it!
Rebooting won't always help.. Especially if your lease has not yet expired. The only way to truly get a new IP Address is to do a /release /renew.. Or go in and disable your network card and then re-enable, or you can run a repair on your network connection depending on OS version.
The release/renew was my first recommendation, but given the assumed user level...rebooting seemed like an "easy" first step
Hopefully he/she gets it worked out before an all out panic attack takes over (thinking it's somehow serious is...well pretty serious). -

This is ridiculous! Your lease is expired the minute the machine sends out a new DHCP request (upon reboot, release/renew, etc..). Sure you are likely going to wind up with the same address again, but the router is not going to purposely assign 2 different devices with 2 different MAC addresses the same ip. What you are implying is that somehow a machine can possibly stay connected to the network through a reboot when the machine is momentarily powered off. The OP has either got the same static ip for two devices, a bridge setup, or doesn't have a large enough address range in the routers config. If a reboot doesn't help, then there is something goofy going on.
Ok I'll give you an example of what I'm talking about.
We have Four Domain Controllers and 3 DHCP servers with 3 different scopes. When I was setting up DHCP for the extra two scopes I had to set up the servers with filters to specifically deny the specific client MAC addresses from obtaining an IP address from that specific server. Then on the server that we wanted the clients to receive IP addresses from we created DHCP reservation for the client PC's.
Now by your logic just simply rebooting the client PC will allow the client to receive the new IP address. Wrong, it will not work because the lease has not expired for that PC. Trust me I know; we tested it out and it did not work. We had to physically do a /release /renew in order for it to grab the new IP address.
Dude, if OP had an NSA network setup at his/her home like you described, I think they would have known how to reacquire a fresh IP without asking. You *KNOW* the most intricate setup they had was a plug and play router with DHCP enabled -

haha.. NSA not hardly.. I work for a bakery that bakes bread.(Sunbeam).. LOL We just wanted to have three different scopes to go out three different internet pipes. One scope for IT, One scope for Ultipro users, and the default scope for everyone else.
It's not rocket science. or should I say a matter of National Security LOL -

That's a pretty high tech bakery...what kinda "bread" you guys makin over there?
Sounds like a front for laundering and packaging Columbian product in chocolate chip cookies!!!
What kind of bakery has it's own IT scope?
The NSA will be looking into you shortly!!!

Us IT guys needed our own scope because of downloading ISO files all day long. It would pretty much saturate the internet bandwidth for the rest of the company.
The bakery I work for has 5 plants and 49 Sales branches. Each of the 5 plants bakes differnt products. The plant I work at only bakes sandwich bread, while the others bakes: Bagels, English Muffins, Hamburger Buns, and Hot Dog Buns.
The bakery I work at also supplied IT support for All of the sales branches and the plants. There are no IT personnel in any of the other plants.
If you want to know something else that may blow your mind; we have 125 servers. -

WOW......The OP asked for help and you guys turned it into an EGO pissing contest....hmmmm...I dont know....is it just me or does this sound like narcissism at its best..
Just saying....
Sorry you were a few hours late and didn't read everything in the thread, surprise surprise!
As mentioned, OP already solved the issue (of which we contributed helpful answers) and we've detracted on a separate conversation since...not a pissing contest, just some good humor and nerd talk. When you take your foot out of your mouth, maybe you can join in?
