Hi Severin That's happened in our home network if the system has been shut down or several devices restarted. The router gives thel owestv DHCP address to the first one started and the next one may get that message if it previously had held that particular IP address. I think our AppleTV sometimes id the wildcard here. When we go travelling (eg to Albany) we usually shut everything down for safety so on arrival home, it all starts again ;-)
