Okay, I looked through the firewall rules, but I couldn't find anything to help. I have since upgraded to ESET smartsecurity 7, and I also turned off my NAS. When I turned it back on, this time there was a popup about blocking duplicate IPs, but this time I had the option to stop blocking it. That created an IDS exception, which I can see in the advanced settings. The only problem now is that it is detecting another duplicate IP. This one I can see is the one for my actual computer, attached to the router via ethernet. I don't know what the other one is, and I can only see one in the DHCP client table. I can obviously access the internet, even though my computer is theoretically blocked. I don't know, it's weird.

Yes, I mapped a network drive from the NAS as shared folders on my network (two folders). I disconnected them in an attempt to solve the issue, and now the NAS does not show up as an available device. I tried entering interactive mode for the firewall, and I was inundated by requests, but I didn't see the NAS show up. Also, the router doesn't show the IP for the NAS. If I temporarily disable the firewall, the NAS shows up. So, I can show the setup in the attached images (ignore the names, I chose the wrong ones to show).

Ah... I've discovered what is the problem, but I'm not sure of a solution. I have a Synology NAS plugged into the router, and it has the IP address in question. I had two folders on the NAS accessible from Windows as Network Locations, each with the same IP address. I never had issues with that before, it worked perfectly. Now, I can't access either of the networked drives, and the NAS isn't even showing up when I search using the Synology Assistant. I wonder if ESET is blocking it. How should I fix this?

I recently upgraded to Smart Security 6 from Anti-virus 5. (Uninstalled 5 and then installed 6). As soon as it was installed, a warning popped up "Identical IP addresses detected in network" and that has kept popping up for the past several days. Now, I've tried unplugging and replugging the router to give devices new ips, I've tried the ipconfig release flush renew cycle. I've tried getting new IPs on all the wireless devices I have (the ones I can think of, at least). I've looked at the DHCP Client Table on my router, and NONE of the IPs that it shows match the IP that it says is duplicated, let alone two. Any ideas? Thanks.
