configure dhcp server to assign ip addresses to each system or check individual systems for unique ip addresses. usually two systems will have problems simultaneously.
if assigning manually (god help u ;-)) start from one corner & move towards other. it helps if u r not alone in this.

just change the IP of the system in which you getting this error msg.. repeat this untill you don't get any error msg. Better assign a specific ip to each system and change them manually or configure dhcp server. Though manual IP is easy for tracking (you know what i mean :p )
