Go into your Network Connections, and check the Properties page of your TCP/IP protocol. There should be an option there to use DHCP to get an address. You can either use that, and your router will assign a unique IP address to each one, or if you have assigned an IP address, make sure they're different.
If you choose the former, you may need to go to your router's configuration page and make sure DHCP is turned on, but it usually is by default.
