RE: Virtual PC can't get on Internet

I'm having the same problem, but I have more details.
When I start virtual machine (winxp home) I get a message on the host
saying: "there is an IP address conflict with another system on the network".
It later says this on the guest, too. I already tried disabling my firewall
(I have Symantec Endpoint protection), and tried (but failed) to change the
IP address on the guest manually (What I got was "the static IP address you
have assigned is being used by another system on the network" (message is not
exact, will try to get exact message in next response)).

I don't know how this happened, because it worked before and I don't know of
doing any change, such as installing a program or changing network adapters.

Thanks in advance.
