I am receiving the following error message a startup: "A duplicate name
exists on the network."  I know why its happening - because my laptop is
connecting via wired and wireless.  However, I don't know how to resolve
this issue.

Please help.

Thanks in advance,

Mervin Williams

Hi
The solution is simple, do not try to use two Network Cards that are
installed on a Computer with client OS to the same Network. The fact that
you can physically plug a cable, does not mean that it is the right thing to
do.
