IP Conflict

Every network device needs a unique IP number (unique to the network(s) it's connected to that is) an IP conflict is when more than one network device have the same IP number.

Think of IP number as a phone number - if two people in different parts of town had the same phone number how would the exchange know which one to connect you to?

Now to fix it:

Assuming you are on windows pcs go to the dos command line (ie Start Run 'command')

now type ipconfig to find the pc's IP number (both the cable connected and the wireless one).

If those IP numbers are the same then you have an IP conflict. Set one of them to a different number for example if they are both is 10.0.0.15 make one 10.0.0.16 only change the number after the last '.' the number must be be in the range 0-255.

You set the ip address by going into network connections, choosing the network interface devices properties, clicking on TCP/IP and then properties.

This is the extremely rushed version - I'm counting on you knowing roughly what you're doing and not making things worse.

Good luck!

Hello Virus,

First of all, if you've got a hub (the linksys one) it's surely the one which has wifi integrated. Your main host is : 192.0.1.1 normally it's impossible to have ip conflict as the router automatically issues ip to all computer connected on the network.

please chek the following :

Run command
Type : ipconfig

And assure you that all pc are assigned ip automatically.

Best of Luck
