Question

Hello,
My system has shutdown all of a sudden with a blue screen error .I had restarted the system,when i checked my logs ,it has shown the error like:
* The name "ADMIN-PC       :20" could not be registered on the interface with IP address 192.168.5.26. The computer with the IP address 192.168.5.28 did not allow the name to be claimed by this computer.
* The server could not bind to the transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{*********************-*****-**} because another computer on the network has the same name.  The server could not start.
