How do I keep a pc and a laptop from getting conflicting IP addresses from a wireless router?

I have a Buffalo Airstation WHR-G5S wireless router hooked to a cable modem, I have the home pc wired to the router connected to LAN out 1, software is installed and internet is working great. If I allow the conflicting IP on the Laptop, which is using a wireless adapter, then renew the IP on the pc the problem is resolved for about 30 minutes. The laptop reconnects for some reason, I haven't set either one up as a server, basically followed the instructions given. Also, I visited the routers website and there wasn't anything that could help me.....thanks

SATA drive - I want to keep my old PATA as D:\?

I am buying a seagate 160gig SATA. (good price..!) At present I have a ATA 133 - 40G ; my motherboard is designed to take SATA. No problem there. But, my q. is can SATA as C:\ and PATA as D:\ coexist on the same motherboard? I also have another Pata drive which is D:\ (40Gig) and I will be getting rid of it. I am running XP prof.

Additionally, how will I take a mirror image of my present 40G into SATA? I would prefer it to be *exact* mirror. I do not want to lose any of my data on my old drive when I transfer. Can someone help me with an answer please?

I would like very much to just get going with the new drive as C:\ with a seamless transition.

I am trying not to spend on any additional software.
