Why do two computers with the same IP address appear on my network?

I am running McAfee security center. There is a network manager that lets you see what computers are using your wireless network. When I look at mine, I see my named computer with it's IP address, but there is also an unnamed computer on the network that has the same IP address. My laptop and iPod touch should be the only two devices on the network. Should I be worried about this?

Have you tried to access it? It sounds like you may have someone leeching your wireless connection, and they may also be able to access your computer as well. Do everything that you can to block or remove this computer..

Possibly, you can also reboot your router and reestablish your connections. There should be a teeny little button on the bottom of your router somewhere. Just hold it for I think 30 seconds, it will reboot itself. My router does anyway, it may be similar.
