    Conflict IP means, your PC is on the same IP as another PC. Probably config is set to static IP/DNS/ Try setting it to dynamic IP / DNS and see what happens.

    Since adhoc does not require a router, you should set the IP's to static. By default MS gives everyone the same IP if a DHCP server is not found. Once the IP is set you will get a limited connectivity. This is OK if you do not have internet access. You also have to tell the port that it is in Adhoc operation inorder for the 2 pc to talk to each other. Personal FW may block your connection too.
