Does DIRT handle DishNet questions/issues?

[Deadlocked]

Was wondering since I have a duplicate IP address issue on my laptop (mobile devices are fine) and I've tried everything I can on my end so it's time to contact the provider.

We do not.

Doesn't your router dispense the local IP address? That's where the problem is. An internet carrier has nothing to do with local IP addresses unless you are using their router and feel they need to replace it. Devices at times try to establish the same IP address after being turned back on. If the router assigned that number to another device you will get that error message. Reboot of router should fix it.

In addition Starting with Windows Vista even coming out of sleep a computer may report this. There really isn't a conflict, the short answer is Windows is reporting too early that there is a conflict.

Probably not going to change if you already tried. But the problem is somewhere between your device and your router, or with Windows if that is what you use. The incoming internet connection plays no role in assigning local IP addresses.

Should I see if the router needs a firmware update? Any other advice anyone can give me?
