    When ever I connect to the internet a little window pops up in the left hand corner and says "A duplicate name exists on the network"

    What does this mean?

    Is this in work or at home?

    It usually means the name your computer has is the same on another pc..

    means two computers have the same name on the network. i.e both are called "Hub-Desktop" or whatever. Change the name of one by right clicking on my computer, then properties. Click on Computer Name, then the change button.
