Change their IP Addresses so that they read differently. Two Computers cannot have the same IP Address on the same network otherwise there will be IP Conflict causing the systems to drag down the network.... Alternatively, you can use a DHCP and assign IP addresses automatically.In this case, the Host Computer assigns addresses accordingly to all computers on the same network...

Can two computers have the same MAC address?

NO, its not possible to have same MAC addresses for two different network cards. because MAC address is a unique part of the recognition of the network card and it is also called as PHYSICAL address of your PC. There is possibility of 2 network cards with same MAC address by 3rd party MAC spoofing techniques.........


What cable connect between two switches?

Two equipments of the same type - two computers, two routers, two switches - should be connected with a crossover cable.


What happens if two stations are accidentally assigned the same hardware address?

One of them or both would not get an ip address. If on of the computers has Linux and another one has windows (any), Linux system will receive an ip address, and windows will not. If both are Linux most likely you will see the message about conflicting ip addresses (the same for two win xp or any same OSes). Usually server OSes win when compiting for the same ip address (same hardware address gets the same ip address). here hardware address means physical or the MAC address as the hardware addresss of three kinds 1):- static , 2):- dynamic ,3):- configurable in case of the static it is impossible while in case of the others two there is a chance of conflict and both stations may not take part in the in the communication due to conflict


If you have two computors at different locations with the same address and you send a message from one will the reply message go back to both computors?

Ohh why do people ask such silly questions but I suppose I have to the answer is Yes it would go to both computers


Can I run two computers at home on one phone line?

Sure, you can run two computers at home on one phone line using a DSL splitter to separate the phone and internet signals. Just make sure your internet service provider supports multiple devices on the same line. And remember, you might experience slower speeds with two computers sharing the same connection.

Can two computers use the same ip address to send emails?

We can have same ip address on two or more computers in the SAME network; both working simultaneously. They should be in same collission domain. Let their MAC address be same first & then assign them same ip address. You can do so by using a network hub. Watch my associated video on www.metacafe.com/channels/austinium2002/


What happen if i assign a single IP address to two computers which are on network.now if third computer wants to access on computer with that IP address what happens?

Ate these two computers on the same network IP192.167.222.4 Subnet255.255.555.0 Gateway192.168.222.1 and IP192.168.222.6 Subnet255.255.0.0 Gateway192.167.222.1?

For a start, two computers on the same network should have the same subnet mask. If two computers that are indeed on the same network have different subnet masks, there is a design problem. Now, even if you look only at the last subnet mask - the least restrictive one - the computers are NOT on the same subnet mask. The subnet mask 255.255.0.0 indicates that the first two bytes (or the first 16 bits) of an IP address have to match, to be considered part of the same network. If you look at the IP addresses, this is not the case.

Is it necessary that the ip address is 192.168.1.11 and 192.168.1.12 of two computers when they are going to share the files?

Just an observation should this information be made public?


Can you use the same router software for two different computers?

Yes, you should be able to use the same router software for two different computers. Most current routers will recognize at least two different computers, so the router should be able to take commands from both computers. However, you need to make sure that the actual software is able to be reloaded more than once, because some router softwares only allow one load.


What is the purpose of the IPv4?

The IP address is what is used to locate a computer over the internet. The domain name - for example, Google.com - is only a shortcut, easy to read for humans. Before the corresponding server or servers can be accessed, the IP address must first be found. In the case of publicly accessible computers, the IP address is unique worldwide - that is, no two computers have the same IP address.
