Networks
Recently my IP address was crashed another IP address. Normally the message will prompt that my IP crash due to the same IP address.
Is there anyway that I can check that which IP is actually crash with me? I mean who use that particular IP?

How to track it down depends on your network setup, but if you're running an NT network and you have a WINS server, open WINS Manager, click Mappings, then Show Database, click Set Filter and enter the IP address.
The list that will result will usually have a couple of records. Most of the records (3 or more) will have the machine name but at least one should have the userid for the person logged on to that machine.

99% of all IP conflicts will report the MAC (Physical Address) address of the NIC that caused the conflict. If this is your network there are several tools that can help you with ARP and RARP requests to see which IP address is currently assigned towhat MAC. If this issue happens with a Cable Modem or DSL, notify your provider. The MAC addresses are assingned to each Cable "modem" and DSL router and can be tracked back to the user. I have seen this happend alot with Cable modems where DHCP is not fully implemented.
I suggest that if this happens in the future. Get the MAC address of the conflicting device and work from that.
Hope this was helpful.
Good Luck!
