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...
No two computers can have the same IP address on the entire worldwide internet!
Having made that statement, there is a caveat. There are address ranges which are referred to as "non-routable" addresses. These are often used in small businesses or on home networks. Many, many computers use duplicate non-routable addresses because of a trick in IP.
Referred to as Network Address Translation (NAT), the device (router) used to move information between these non-routable networks and the Internet keep the private (non-routable) address hidden in the small packets or envelopes that make up Internet traffic and assign only the WAN (Wide Area Network) IP address to the packets. To be able to be moved around on the Internet, every single one of these "interfaces" must have unique IP addresses assigned. The embedded non-routable addresses are then read only when packets come back to the private network from a web or some other server.
If IP addresses are like mail that gets sent through the post office, the address for each mailbox has to be unique for the mail to get to any certain building. But a building might have it's own internal mail system that takes all the pieces that came to that address and then sends them to the right person's office or room. That's a pretty good analogy for how the Internet works with addresses.
Many ip addresses are duplicated on private networks, but Internet accessible IP addresses are globally unique, and duplicate IP addresses cannot be used on a single network.
# IP addresses are analogous to telephone numbers - when you want to call someone on the telephone, you must first know their telephone number. Similarly, when a computer on the Internet needs to send data to another computer, it must first know its IP address. IP addresses are typically shown as four numbers separated by decimal points, or "dots". For example, 10.24.254.3 and 192.168.62.231 are IP addresses.
In static addressing, each PC or device has its own IP address, chosen in the machines configuration, and this address does not change while we do not want to change it. this is good for a Network Manager monitor a network and know by his tables who is the user whose machine is involved in an accident (told by software which only knows IP addresses).
In dynamic addressing, there is a computer that "knows" the addresses that are available in a network in a given moment. Then, a PC coming to the network only needs to ask the DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) server for an IP address and this is valid only for the current session. This is very convenient for ISPs, Hot spots and any public places where the client users vary a lot.
Contact your service provider from whom you get your Internet service. If they can't help you, I recommend a new provider.
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.........
Two equipments of the same type - two computers, two routers, two switches - should be connected with a crossover cable.
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
Ohh why do people ask such silly questions but I suppose I have to the answer is Yes it would go to both computers
Answer: No, two hosts/nodes on the same network, or subnet cannot share the same IP Address. This goes for everything with a NIC, or (network interface card), including IP Printers.Why?: Simply put, two hosts/nodes on the same network, or subnet cannot use the same logical addressing information. This would cause logical addressing errors during ARP, RARP, DHCP and DNS traffic (among many others), and prevent both machines from using the network at the same time, due to 'half of all packet transmissions' being sent, or received at any given point by one host/node, but never the other.
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/
No two computers may have the same IP address. This will cause both systems to crash.
windows will flash up and tell you there is a conflict
It is not possible, because there will an error that is call ip conflict error.

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.
You should be able to use your iPod and iPod Touch on the same iTunes account on both computers.
Just an observation should this information be made public?
you can But I wouldn't because it might not work with all computers so maybe you should leave it

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.
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.
