running two wireless pc's on the same router?

Question

I am getting a IP address error when I hooked up an aditional pc to my wireless network and when both are running it won't let me run internert explorer

Answer 1

please check your IP settings on the computers and make sure that they are not named the same. You can check for a static IP under start, control panel, network connections, right click on wireless adapter and select properties, double click on TCP/IP and make sure that everthing is set to obtain. Also right click on wireless connection and select status, and then click support tab, and then click repair. Be sure that you are getting a valid IP address and try to connect again. Check the other computer IP address by doing the same. Right click, and then repair. For some reason one is either set to static and you are grabbing the same address instead of the letting the router give you an IP address via DHCP.

Hope this helps you out.

Answer 2

go into the router control panel
turn on the dhcp ( that is what hands out ips)
At the worst reset the router by pressing in the reset button and set the router up again.
Also go into your network setting and make sure the network card is set to "otain a ip automatically" and the same with the dns

Answer 3

Your wireless router may not be properly configured. Try choosing Dynamic IP Address (If cable modem) or Dynamic PPOE (if DSL). You need to hook up the router (through its LAN port) to a PC to be able to do the reconfiguration.

Answer 4

set each pc for DHCP address. The router will handout ip addresses. This will solve your issue.
