This occurs when two or more computers on the same LAN network end up with the same IP address. When this occurs, both computers end up not being able to connect to network.There are a few ways in which this problem can be fixed.If it is Static IP request your ISP for a change of IP.If it is a Dynamic IP you can try resetting your modem by switching ON and OFF the modem or open the command prompt and type "ipconfig /release," which dumps the automatic address it had, and then "ipconfig /renew," which gets a new address.To check for the change in IP you can visit IP-Details.com which gives your public Ip when you visit the site.
In a Network if you have 10 computers and you have assigned same IP address for more than one computer this is called IP Conflict. Then there will be a conflict in the Network.
by using dchp
It is not possible, because there will an error that is call ip conflict error.
This is the person who wrote this. I have a wired connection with a static IP. When I try to connect my PS3 to the internet the computer says there is a IP conflict and a Windows System error. Can someone help me? I'm not a great person with computers so if you could explain how please.
Yes, all devices on a network must have a unique IP address or you will have an IP conflict and one of the devices will have its network connection disabled.
Ip Conflict
There will be a IP address conflict,if a device is on and connected to the network it will have the IP address,if any other device tries to connect to the same network with the same IP it will not be allowed to join the network.
windows will flash up and tell you there is a conflict
Change the address of the one of the machines.
Yes. Very bad things happen if they conflict...
This problem doesn't really relate to a gateway, online or off-line. The address conflict occurs when two or more systems on the network have the same static address in their adaptor. IP addresses on the LAN must be unique, and if you aren't using DHCP this happens easily.
By using a router with DHCP turned on in the router
You will need to log into your router/modem, and make sure that you have DHCP enabled. This allows the router to assign each machine/mac address it's own IP address, so they do not conflict.
