Windows 10: ip address is in use on another machine?? hibernate resume problem?

I went to see my daughter and after she resumed her computer from hibernate (it had been off for about 2 days) a message popped up saying its ip address had been detected in use by another computer.

I suspect it was my cell phone that when in range asked for an ip address and the router, thinking the hibernated laptop wasn't using that ip address any longer gave it to my cell phone. Then after her system resumed from hibernate, it continued to use the ip address it had when it hibernated.


Does anyone know if this can happen? Does windows renew its dhcp ip lease on resume? Can it tell if the lease expired?

:)

 

Windows 10 - Will not hibernate after prolonged use, previous fix for 10016 worked for awhile, but no longer fixes hibernate issue.

I just confirmed, this error also occurs when I attempt to Sleep, so it's not unique to Hibernate.

If I try to Hibernate, the computer will not Hibernate; however, when I hold the power button the computer will turn OFF. When I turn it back on it will resume from a Hibernation mode and restore the session.

When I just tried to do the same process with Sleep, the computer would not sleep, and when I attempted to turn the computer OFF, it did a hard turn OFF. When I went to turn the laptop back ON, it began from a hard turn OFF, and did not resume from a pre-Sleep
session.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

 

Another Startup Problem - Windows 10

The same problem started with me when I installed alcohol 120%

now even after removing it , I am still having the same problem computer boots on second try and resume from hibernation restarts the system

 

Hi there Rocket 77, and welcome to TenForums.

Yes this can happen, and it still does happen from time to time. Essentially windows stores all the running information when it enters hibernation, and then picks up that same information when it resumes.

A very quick way to reset the DHCP, if its not automatically resolved.

Start > Type "CMD" > Open the Command console

In the console, type in "ipconfig /renew"

This will clear your stored connection profile, then request a new IP from the DHCP server!

If you have any further issues, or this does not work please let me know!

 

For Home Networking. It is advisable to assign a static LAN IP in the router for every device in the house to avoid such IP conflict.

 

I agree it helps if all IP addresses are fixed, but it should be done in the router, by linking each MAC to an IP.
