Hello, I Was setting up my D-Link N Wireless router and when the install wizard was working i got a windows message that said that another computer on the same network had the same IP address as mine. My computer runs on windows vista and my internet provider is Bridgemaxx(WiMaxx) What does that mean and how do i fix it?

Configuration: Windows Vista

You were using a non-secure network and someone near you connected with the wireless router before you did. If you turn on encryption (WPA) then the other person can't use your router/internet connection.
