This thread shows the common symptom of two machines trying to use the same address. gave the error; asked for details; suggested the network setup wizard. The wizard can fix many home setups, but it is useful to know how to find the real cause and fix it reliably.

Quick, practical checklist (run these on each PC):

ipconfig /all
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ping <other-pc-ip>
arp -a

Use ipconfig /all to see every adapter, its IP and MAC. A duplicate IP usually means either two machines were set to the same static IP or the DHCP server handed the same address twice. ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew forces a fresh lease. Microsoft documents the ipconfig commands here: ipconfig (Windows command reference).

If using static addresses, pick two unique hosts on the same subnet (for example, 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.11 with mask 255.255.255.0), and make sure those numbers are outside the router DHCP pool or reserved in the router. For a direct cable between two NICs, older cards need a crossover cable unless the NICs support Auto-MDI-X (automatic crossover) — see Auto MDI-X (Wikipedia).

Also check the router DHCP lease table, disable extra adapters (VPN or virtual NICs), confirm both PCs are in the same workgroup, and allow file/printer sharing in the firewall. If the conflict persists after these checks, gather the ipconfig /all outputs and the router lease list before asking for more help.

Run the network setup wizard on both computers. At least this is what I did, it's very easy, and it worked for me.
