Name: PC Freak
I'm trying to fix my friends network in his house, he has a Computer, Xbox 360, Wii, and PS2 hooked up to a Linksys 4 port router. Now, the problem with this is when he plays his Xbox 360 online, the computer can't connect to the internet, but the second the Xbox is no longer connected, the computer connects fine. He can run the Wii and PC at the same time on the internet with no problem and the PS2 and Wii together fine etc... its just that one problem. I have pretty much the same router he is using but mine is Wired/Wireless where his is only Wired and I have roughly 10 things when you include the Wired and Wireless connected to my router and everything runs the internet just fine and I set his settings the same as mine so I just don't get it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

PC Freak, sounds to me like maybe a setting is amiss. Since the other devices seem to work fine, I'd guess the problem is with the 360. In case you can't locate the problem. you might find something in a networking tutorial? Find one @:

When the problem happens again, type ipconfig /all in command prompt and make sure it displays valid IP, netmaks, gateway and DNS info (you can compare the output before and after problem occurs). You should be able to ping gateway IP if it works well.
I afraid it's IP conflict problem, manually configure that computer with different IP address and test again.
