What IP address does it say it's conflicting with? It can't be a message
about your entire subnet.
Do you use DHCP on your network anywhere, and do you have any static IPs
configured even so?

You need to provide more detail about your connection and subnet. It
appears there is a computer with a static ip address that is conflicting
with hte ip address of another computer or network device.

For example, if you are using ics, the host computer lan card is being
assigned 192.168.0.l automatically. A connected computer is statically set
to use the same address, hence the conflict.

But you provide no info so I can only take a scientific wild ass guess
(SWAG).

Yes it for the entire subnet and all are assaigned with static ips

You can't get a message that there's an IP conflict for the entire subnet;
that doesn't make sense. What exactly does the message say?

You have a DHCP conflict, somewhere. Static addressing makes this more
likely - yet another reason to use DHCP

Please leave quoted text in your replies (meaning, don't snip out all the
text of the message you are replying to) as it makes the thread hard to
follow.
