1a.: "Another device using IP address"

This error message has appeared on a 2nd network (in a completely
separate location). No portable computers are used on these
computers. Nothing in common other than having an Time Capsule.

One uses a wireless network, one uses an Etherenet network with the
Time Capsule connected via wireless to the main ATT router.

The computers experiencing the errors are both running Lion 10.7.2.

Anybody know what causes this IP address conflict? Has anyone else
experienced this error?

Thanks,
Dave

-=-=-=-

Small business has ATT / 2-Wire (model 2701HG-B) router. Connected
via Ethernet is a 1TB Time Capsule. The office Macs (2) are connected
to the router wirelessly.

All too frequently, a message comes up on one of the iMacs (one
particular one and only that one) that another device on the network
is using the same IP address. This does not occur when visitors (with
laptops or iPhones) are on-site.

The router is configured to deliver all IP addresses via DHCP. There
are no fixed IP addresses.

If it weren't for the fact that visitors with laptops and iPhones
sometimes want access to this network, I would filter access using
MAC hardware addresses. But that's not possible.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave

No. Not familiar. That's to say simply that it is possible to have an SL installation where this does not happen. [knocking on wood] I make many entries per day in multiple calendars. OS10.6.8, fully updated. I generally use drag and drop to make entries and cmd-e to edit them.

How do you make your entries? There was a serious bug a while back where To Do entries made from Mail did not work. I don't commonly make calendar entries from mail, but I do sometimes.

Here's a good thread with suggestions for deleting plists, caches, and other basic trouble shooting.
