I have an IP conflict error on ICS when I enable all the computers. But then, all computers can access the internet. It's sound no problem for the ICS but why would the IP conflicted? -- WongPK --

An IP address conflict usually occurs when one computer has a static (fixed) IP address. If one PC has a static IP, you should set them all to static IPs. Otherwise, change the TCP/IP settings in Network Properties so it obtains it automatically. By the way, when two computers do have a conflict, they won't be able to see each other until you reboot. Try the following on a computer that gets a conflict. Start -> Run -> cmd -> OK Type these commands in, pressing Enter after each one. ipconfig /release ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /renew Then restart and do it on the other PC as well.

Ok, I did those mentioned above. Still I got IP conflict on the Gateway computer if it didn't online (or I put it there without IE or MSN online). Why huh? Strange isn't it? -- WongPK --

OK then, your best bet is to set static IP addresses on all of the machines. Call the main/first one 192.168.0.1, then 192.168.0.2 and so on. Then reboot them all. Tell me how it goes, James Free PC Help forums MiniApache

My setting is like: IP: 192.168.1.1 Mask: 255.255.255.0 the other two is: IP: 192.168.1.3 Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 IP: 192.168.1.4 Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 But will have IP conflict still can online... But then, if I use the above you mentioned, can't get sharing... No conflict of course.. -- WongPK --
