There is another computer with the same ip like yours. You have to call the provider and they will check up which neighbour found out your ip.

For each customer the provider gives an ip. With this ip you are allowed on the net. If i don't want to pay, i can find out some customer ip's and go with that. The warning sign is appearing only in the moment when both computer are open. Like i could use your ip without you to know when you are offline. it seems, right now you are using both the same ip and thats why the message box appeared on the screen. Also, one computer should have been removed automatically when the message appeared (logged off)

The best is to call your provider immediatelly. They are very suspicious on this facts.

i get tht always

if someone has the same ip like if they stole it does that mean that they could steal all the other info and files on my pc?

Welcome. Probably is nothing like zAk have said but best is to call them; its their network, their detective work.

do you have 2 or more computers in your house which connect to the internet?

an IP number is yor computers sort of identity number, it;s kinda like me and my friend use this other forum on our school comps, so we both have the same IP because of that, I dont think anyone can hack in to ur comp using ur IP number, sometimes people from the same neighbourhood can have the same or simillar ip number, i wouldn;t worry about it too much, i think if u get in touvh with the network they can sort it out

Same thing happened to me a few days ago. No big deal. Flush the router, clear the cache, and reboot. Should sort it out.

A good idea is if you haven't already, set some security on your network.

It can also be caused most times if you've set your connection to obtain the internal IP and DNS from the router automatically. Manually configure the connection to the router and it shouldn't happen again.
