using my IP address 192.168.0.2!

Since I have not seen this message before, I was wondering it is  
something I should be worried about.


It means another computer on the same LAN is using your same address  
that your machine assumed when it booted.  Are you using DHCP?  If  
yes, is everyone on the LAN using DHCP?

It means you have two machines on your network with the same IP.
