I just recently built a new desktop in which the MOBO does not have a wifi chip, so I am trying to make a bridge from my laptop to my desktop with an ethernet cable. But on my desktop there is just a yellow caution sign on the connectivity indicator, and whenever I troubleshoot it, it says that "Windows has detected an IP adress conflict
Another computer on this network has the same IP adress as this computer"
What is up with this and is there any way I can fix it?
