Answer 1

Not your computer's fault.



What other devices are connected to your router? Some devices need their IP addresses on the local network to be fixed, and your computer is being assigned an IP address that another device is already using (like a printer, or an Xbox).



Your router has a DHCP server and can assign different IP addresses to the devices connected to it, but it seems to not be doing this. Read the router instructions on how to correct this, or you can manually assign a different IP address in the network settings on your computer to avoid conflict.
