IP Address Conflict

[DoreFan15]

I just moved into my college dorm. I set up my internet and its working. I got a hub/switch so I can get my PS2 online using a network adaptor. It does connect online sometimes but not often, and when it does connect it doesn't last long. But when i do connect my ps2 online a message pops up on my computer that says there is an IP address conflict. i've done ipconfig/release and renew...didnt fix it. Does anybody have any ideas? on my network adaptor settings, i manually put in the IP address and DNS codes, that is what i did last year and it worked, those numbers are right. there is just an IP address conflict.

If your college network supports it, try to obtain an IP automatically. Also, try to configure your router to allow more than one IP address.
