Guest W. Guy Delaney Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I have a home network which includes a networked prinnter, two PCs, and one laptop. All machines are running Windows XP with all updated and service packs applied. On my laptop, and only on my laptop, when I boot it, I get an error message which says: "System Errors: Duplucatie name exits on the network." I have shut down both PCs and my printer, and I still get the message when I boot my loptop. This message did not appear until today; otherwise it has been booting without this error. What do I need to do to resolve this problem?

Guest W. Guy Delaney Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Re: Duplicate Name erorr I forgot to say that the two PCs, the Printer, and the laptop have unique names. "W.

Guest Bob I Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Re: Duplicate Name erorr How are you connecting the laptop to the network? Is there two paths? W.

If Wireless you might have someone else connecting to your network using the same computer name by accident, or in an weak attempt to hide what they are doing. As another suggested, any chance you are using an Ethernet cable connection to the laptop while a wireless connection is also up? If all else fails, try renaming your computer and see if that clears the first problem. Then try and track down what else is using the old name on the network, possibly by using a freeware network mapping program.
