I've got an FC6 box that I'm having some trouble getting the network

Networking works but I keep getting the error message. Any ideas
where I've gone wrong?

Taking the error notice at face value, you've got some other device on
the same network already using that address. You can't do that, and it
checks when attempting to bring an interface on-line. Change one of
them.
Maybe something on the network grabbed the address via dhcp?
Maybe Tim should be getting *his* IP via DHCP?
