Machine did not allow IP address to be claimed
I'll readily admit that I know nothing about networks. I'm receiving this on my laptop. There appears to be no problems with the other computers on the network.
All computers are running XP Pro. The network is wireless.
"The name "JAMES :0" could not be registered on the Interface with IP address 192.168.1.4. The machine with the IP address 192.168.1.3 did not allow the name to be claimed by this machine.
This message has been appearing from time to time in Event Viewer since February. However, now there are hundreds of these messages. It seemed to get worse after the motherboard had been replaced.
The symptoms on the laptop are that it takes for ever to download https pages and the rest of the connections are plain slow.
I have Googled the message and have found about as many solutions as there are contributors.
I have a feeling that there is one solution that will cure this once and for all...
Any help appreciated, but please go lightly on the tech side - as I say, as far as explaining networks to me is concerned, it's like explaining Einstein's theory to Trobiand Islanders.

The modem has power and cable in and USB and ethernet cable to the router.
Under Microsoft Windows Network, there is the 1st desktop, the laptop and an unknown PC called PSCB230a - A message says I cannot access this latter unit.
I cannot see 'James'.
Keep the brain cells working, I'm stuck.

In daylight and my glasses... I see that the USB cable is not USB - it is an Ethernet cable.
So the real set-up on the main desktop is
Cable in to the modem
Power to the modem
Ethernet cable from modem to wireless router
Power to the wireless router
Ethernet cable from wireless router to computer.
The wireless router then broadcasts to the laptop and the computer called 'James'
'James' has internet connectivity.
Microsoft Windows network on Desktop 1 shows
1. itself
2. Pscb230a (not named by me or anyone else I know) which is inaccessible
3. the laptop.
4. James
Microsoft Windows network on laptop shows
1. itself
2. Pscb230a (not named by me or anyone else I know) which is inaccessible
3. the Desktop 1
4. James
Microsoft Windows network on 'James' shows
1. itself
2. The laptop
3. Pscb230a (not named by me or anyone else I know) which is inaccessible
4. the Desktop 1
