IP adress conflict

I have 5 PCs running on router DI-524 (D-link) and when I got a range
extender DWL-G710(D-Link) I constantly get an error message that informs me
there is "an IP-adress conflict with another system on the net". It seems
Windows is acting as there are two different systems (router and extender).
SSID is the same all over. Anyone have any ideas how to solve this?
 
I came across this post, may be of help.

From what I can tell, adding a range extender to a wireless network creates
the duplicate IP address errors. If you look in the system event log on your
PC you should notice that in the detail of the TCP/IP event error that the
conflict is coming from the MAC address of the range extender. I think
what's happening on the network is that a loop is created by the PC
associating with both the wireless router and extender. The only way to
avoid the multiple association is if your wireless adapter driver on your PC
gives you the ability to limit assiociation by MAC address. This shouldn't
be problem with two access points since you can do the MAC address filtering
on the AP itself. Most laptops that have built in wireless cards have a
driver with this capabilty. However, most off the shelf wireless adapters
don't have the MAC address filtering capability. Dlink and Linksys need to
get this straight and make a better adapter driver that lets you control
which AP you can connect to or enable MAC filtering on the range extender.

Thanks. I`ll do some investigation into the log and the ap s filtering
ability. The AP is DWL-G 122 and I`m not sure about the drivers capabilitys.
Maybe there are someone out there who has a solution?
