Hi Severin, You are "using DHCP" to connect to your Network. Basically what the message means is that your router is assigning IP address' to all your devices on your Network. What's happening is two devices have the same IP address and then things get confusing between the two.
When this happens: On the Mac that has received the message: go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > TCP/IP and click "Renew DHCP Lease" Nothing sinister is happening.
