Others with Same IP Address

[Freerunner]

My wife is at a hotel and was trying to log onto the internet using the hotel;s wireless (she uses a MacBook Air). There was a message that came up on her computer saying the others might also be using the same IP address. Is that something to be concerned about? Would others be able to see her computer?

It's most likely just an IP address conflict. You don't have anything to worry about.

OK, thanks

You can disable and re-enable your adapter to allow a new ip address to be assigned if need be.
