    I am having some wireless internet troubles. Everytime I use my school's network I get an error message from Windows saying "A duplicate name exists on the network."

    What does this mean? I have been having some trouble connecting to my email and chatting and I was wondering if this was the problem. Hopefully someone has dealt with this before.

    Thanks in advance for the help,
    Tim
