Error

 

"The IP Address you have entered for this network adapter is already assigned to another adapter 'Intel(R) 82544GC Based Network Connection #2'. 'Intel(R) 82544GC Based Network Connection #2' is hidden from the Network and Dial-up Connections folder because it is not physically in the computer or is a legacy adapter that is not working. If the same address is assigned to both adapters and they both become active, only one of them will use this address. This may result in incorrect system configuration. Do you want to enter a different IP address for this adapter in the list of IP addresses in the Advanced dialog box?"
