I had the same problem with two Netgear routers. I returned the first and had the same issue with the second. I bought a Linksys wireless router. No problems since.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.it can only be controlled by one device at a time. Sometimes this happens when the IP refreshes. Just refresh your browser and restart the device
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.it means that more than one computer is trying to get the same ip address from the router. Be sure DHCP in enabled on the router and on your PC.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Windows 7 gave me the same message when I entered the same ip address in a blu-ray set up procedure as the address for one of my computers. I went on to give blue-ray proper router address and other codes with help of Netgear tech assist, and conflict went away. Lesson seems to be each device needs unique address.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This means that someone on your network has a static IP address and it is not reserved in the file server or the router. The router (or server) is handing out an address that is in use. regards, Pat
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It means that more than one of the devices on your network are trying to use the same IP address. Short Answer: Your Internet provider Assigns you an IP address. (Internet address) - If you are using a router, the router assumes that address then hands out "Internal Addresses" to all of your other devices and allows you to "share" the one IP address. (everyone needs an IP address to acces the internet) -- More than likely, something on your network was assigned an IP address and does not want to "let go of it" and another device is trying to use the same internal address. Each device on your network should have its own unique IP (internal). Resolving the IP address conflict should speed things up and resolve the notification.
