Yes! Very dangerous unless you want the routers to send the EXACT same data to both computers. (Even then it might cause some damage)

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.

If you use an adsl modem and connected to two computer is your ip same on both computers?

No, each computer must have a different IP address. The IP addresses have to be in the same subnet between themselves, and in the same subnet as the ADSL router (or modem); I won't explain subnets here, but usually having the same numbers for the first 3 parts of the IP address is enough. For example, if the ADSL router has the IP address 10.0.0.1, your computers might have addresses 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3. If you need to add a third computer, give it the IP address 10.0.0.4If the first computer has a different IP address - and it works - replace that, instead. For example, if the computer has IP address 172.16.0.2, assign the address 172.16.0.3 to the next computer.

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.


Why do computers need a name IP address and a MAC address?

That is actually the way the computers connect. Parts of the IP address are used to route the data to the correct ISP, and the rest are used for the network can find the other machine. If you use any site, they already know your IP address, since that is necessary so the servers will know where to send the data.


Can use one ip address for 2 machins?

No because the IP should be a unequal number to other computers. If 2 machines are the same IP, you will not be able to access the internet.
