Question

"Ip Address Conflict" on Desktop when using Laptops Wireless?

Answer 1

First off an IP Address conflict means that two devices have the same IP Address on your network.

I would run an ipconfig /all on both the laptop and desktop. If they have the same address change the address on the desktop to a static address that is in the same subnet range. Incrementing the ip address by one will probably do the trick.

Second WiFi cards for desktops are cheap. Buy one and solve your problems immediately:)

Answer 2

It seems that there is another device using the same IP number so you need to customize you ip address manually.



First go to your command prompt and type in ipconfig to find you IP address and it will show your current IP number. the first number should be you IP number for an example. 192.168.02 and the Second number should look like 225.225.255.0 and the third number should look something like 192.168.01. that is you default Gateway for the internet.



change you current IP number to a different number like changing the last Octave







You need to go in to your network properties / TCP/IP and change your ip number. try changing your ip number to 192.168.08

Answer 4

Disable automatic ip address assignment (DHCP) on the computer your going through (assign it a similar address like add 1 or 2 to as long as no other device has this device you'll be okay), its complaining because the same ip address is on both bridged interfaces this might stop the messages.



You might have to set the port --forwarding up again then as it has to associate the port rule to a host and that hasn't been seen by the router as yet.



Problems based on this setup are tied to the fact that you are understood to be the device closest to the hub. It doesn't see the second MAC address on the device bridged. Your PC firewall will also kill any port-forwarding rules over the bridge so best to put it down, or puzzle some exceptions out if you want to be safe.
