Solved: WLAN connection drop/ip address conflict

This has been a problem for a month or so. I have a laptop, which is connected to a wireless network, and a pc, which is connected to the laptop via ethernat cable. I bridged the connections so I could share the internet connection, and the connection is ok, except every half an hour (or so) the connection drops. I get disconnected on my pc, and on my laptop an error pops up: windows has detected an ip address conflict. That lasts for a couple of seconds, and then it reconnects and everything is fine.

I've searched the forums, but couldn't really find the solution. Another problem is that I can not restart the router because it's not in my flat (I'm not stealing internet, i just live as a sub-tenant, so the router is in a flat above mine). Any help would be much appreciated. Also, sorry if I made some grammatical mistakes, english is not my native language.
