There was probably another computer on the subnet with the same IP address.

Start by looking at what's changed since the system last worked. Did you
accidentally break something while trying to fix things yesterday? Do all
of the clients know the new address of the server? After that, start working on
network troubleshooting. Make sure your underlying communications between the
server and clients works. Once you are confident of this, look at software
specific problems like record locking.
