Use the IP Address Conflict page to determine whether the IP address configured on the device is the same as the IP address of another device on the same LAN (or on the Internet, for a routable IP address) and to help you resolve any existing conflicts. An IP address conflict can make both this system and the system with the same IP address unusable for network operation.
