I have a Planet Broadband Router model XRT-401D connected to my cable modem. I normally have one computer on one of its LAN ports and also another router (a LinkSys WiFi G) that is on a different area of the house and connects to the first on by LAN to its WAN port.
Every thing was fine untill I powered down the whole system for a holliday trip. Now, When I try to run the computer conected to the first router (Planet) I get IP conflict and have to disconect the LAN cable to the second and run IPCONFIG/RELEASE and IPCONFIG/RENEW.
How can I avoid the IP conflict?
These are the LAN settings on the Planet router (the one connected to the cable modem):
LAN IP
IP Address : 192.168.0.1
IP Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
802.1d Spanning Tree : Disabled
DHCP Server : Enabled
Lease Time : Forever
DHCP Server
Start IP : 192.168.0.100
End IP : 192.168.0.200
Domain Name :

The most likely cause of the problem is that you have two DHCP servers on the same subnet. Are both your routers configured to deliver DHCP addresses? If so, things could work fine for a while, with your computers simply renewing their existing lease. Power down the whole system for a few days can let the existing lease expire. They would then have to broadcast for a new lease. If there are two DHCP servers, they could easily issue conflicting IP addresses.

Perhaps your other router is trying to be a DHCP server as well?
Perhaps the modem is trying to? Need more info. What IP is it getting when it tells u there is a conflict? Can u see a DHCP host table on the router?

I'm not sure what you mean but if you mean what i think you do go to the control panel on each of the computers then click network and Internet connections, then network connections then click on the connection to the network,then click properties, then IP/TCP (in not sure if its Tcp or not) .( If your not using windows xp just click control panel then network then IP/TCP.)then change the Ip address make sure each of the computers has a different IP address.

ensure you're utilising bypass over cables between each and every of the devises. the in straightforward words issues that should not be bypass over are the pcs. Many routers attempt this for you yet some do not.
