When you see the message box prompted for IP address conflict, this means two or more workstations has the same IP address. If you have setup the device as a DHCP server, please run the "winipcfg" utility to “release” all current configuration first, then “renew” the IP information again. If the DHCP function is disabled and static IP addresses are assigned to each workstation, please double check each workstation’s IP address for duplicate IP.
