ip address conflict

Keep getting a msg that windows has noticed an ip address conflict. How do I change the security key on my router?

What router do you have?  Are you talking about the WiFi key?  That key doesn't have anything to do with an IP conflict problem.  You either have more than one router in your network, both running a dhcp server or you have given a device a fixed ip address within the dhcp range of your router.  Please post your exact configuration, modem, router, etc.

rather than tinker with security try getting a new IP address.   in windows go to start, type cmd.  this will open a command window.   type ipconfig /release, then ipconfig /renew.  that will get you a new IP address.  that *should* clear the error.
