Wireless internet was working fine this morning. I came back from school and my macbook pro won't connect to the wireless. When it finally does connect, the signal looks strong but I can't actually load any pages. And then this error message keeps popping up:

192.168.106 in use by 00:01:e6:3d:85:3c. DHCP Server 192.168.0.1.

What. the. hell?

Renewing the DHCP does nothing. It's been like this for the last 2 hours. Wireless works fine on this old Dell Laptop.

This is pissing me off so much, y'all have no idea.
 
Who does the router belong to? If it's yours, then log into it and make sure that your DHCP server is enabled and has a large enough IP range to choose from. Then check to see if you have any other wireless clients. If that doesn't work, you could reset the router.
