Whats meant by `IP address conflict'?

I was trying to watch a video on a site and that was working perfectly fine with my work place system.Achanak,it is giving a message saying `There is an IP address conflict with another system’,when I tried to open the same video from another system and could not watch the video.Why is it so?

Again what all details an IP address can provide?

Re: Whats meant by `IP address conflict'?

IP address is like a home address . What if two homes have same address ? there will be a conflict . Data won't know which place it has to go .

Solution: It is router's duty to assign a unique IP to each system . So just disconnect and reconnect your network connection and hopefully it will work .
