doggone it, I keep getting this pesky message, I ran the ipconfig/all and pulled up my router to view all connected devices, I do not see any devices sharing the same ip address, what am I missing here?

try ipconfig/renew
that should drop your current IP address and ask the router for a new one;
which hopefully will be different.

If that fails (or you'll get a new IP address and still have the same error),
you're likely runnning a virtual machine of some sort, that shares the IP address;
you need to reconfig that VM or allow windows to share it's IP with said machine.

[EDIT]
Sorry.. that's the quick and dirty xp way :D
for newer wíndows, run cmd as administrator, and in case "renew" doesn't do;
first release ;)
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

that'll work for vista, 7 and 8 (don't know about 10... but I guess it'll still do)
