Hi guys,
having a problem with a network i'm setting up at home. I have my DSL modem connected directly to my PC (XP pro) via USB and a wireless router connected to the modem. My flatmate is trying to connect to the internet from his laptop (vista) thru the wireless connection but when I am connected we keep getting an IP address conflict and he is unable to connect to the internet, only to the router.
I have tried release/renew on my pc but doesn't work how do I resolve this IP conflict??Thanks
Give him an IP address in the same subnet and use the same subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS addresses as shown on your PC.
Example:
Your PC:
IP: 192.168.0.10
SM: 255.255.255.0
DG: 192.168.0.1
DNS: 192.168.0.1You give the laptop:
IP: 192.168.0.11

Actually the issue appears that the ip conflict is between you and the router. Your isp is only giving you one ip. When you get it the router doesn't.
You should not be connected via usb to the modem but to the router. Then both of you will be able to get on.
Imagine the power of knowing how to internet search

Curt, already tried this and doen't work.
Wanderer, my router only has an ethernet connection which must connect to my modem....

Correct. What you are doing INCORRECTLY is you are also connected via usb. I explained above. Disconnect via usb and connect both to the router. Problem solved.

My computer does not have wireless capabilities, so if it is not connected to the modem via usb it cannot connect to the internet and as I said my router only has an ethernet port NO USB port...it has a power connection and an ethernet connection that is all!

Yes, it's common that MOST modems have ONLY ONE Ethernet connection. Some have a USB connection also.
But what's not clear is your Internet connection. Is it DSL or Cable?
If its DSL you should have TWO connections. Now one of them MAY BE a USB connection. The model will tell us clearly and avoid further confusion in your explaination.
If it's cable then obviously one connection will be a F-connect for a coaxial cable connection, and a ethernet and/or a USB for your router/pc's.
The router should have a WAN port and some LAN ports. The modem connects to the WAN, your PC's to the LAN.
Typical (proper) connection should look like:
Modem<->Router<->Many PC's.
What model of modem?
What model of router?
Cheers.

open up the box the router came in take out the network cable. plug one end into router and one end into pc. if not buy a patch cable(network cable) and plug one end into computer and one end into router. this is presuming you have a lan port on the pc. but ive not see one for a donkeys age that didnt have at least one 10/100mb.
youll get a more faster, more secure, more reliable conection than the dude on the wireless connection.
no ip conflicts
