Haha, definitely TCP/IP hijacking. The computer is being impersonated, so it's got to be that one.

I believe it's TCP SYN or TCP ACK flood attack. The network is being flooded with excessive connection requests.

TCP/IP hijacking, no doubt. The problem with the TCP/IP address being in use is a textbook sign of this type of attack.
