A Vist 32 bit, Mac latest os, and a 64 bit XP Pro using the same router at

hom. There is a network conflict. message on my XP Pro pc. I can not RUN

Winipcfg to check ip addresses on the computers. What should I do or is there

something else i should do?

Set all three to use DHCP, not a fixed IP address. The router will then hand

out the addresses and keep track of who has what.

 

ncpa.cpl opens the network connections on the windows machines. You're on

your own for the Mac. Select the adapter, select properties from the right

click menu, highlight tcp/ip v4, click properties. change the settings to

"Obtain an IP address automatically", and the same for the DNS entry.

I'm not sure the disconnections we experience are because of the conflict

or the house telephone wiring so this is a help. Thankyou Charlie.

Re: Conflict on Network 3 pcs to router, different OS's

 

I did find that the 3 computers using the router have different IP addresses

and were configured as you stated but I did not check the configuration of

the MAC.

The Vista PC does not show its IP address in the router online

configuration webpage but the others do. Its IP address is different ass

seen in its own configuration.

Re: Conflict on Network 3 pcs to router, different OS's

 

We are experiencing the fastest internet speeds ever since we had pcs 4 years

ago and this came just when the Phoenix landed on mars so we could watch the

coverage of the landing live without interruptins which was a real treat

after these 4 years. So these problems are really not something we are

worried about alot. Thankyou Charlie.
