Spectator N0. 2679 : Choc-A-Block By Doc
Crosswords1 min ago
A friend has a PC which is wired to Broadband, but he also has a wireless router which he uses when he want to use his laptop elsewhere in the house.The problem that he is having is whenever he uses the laptop wirelessly, the wired PC disconnects from the internet, and cannot reconnect until he disconnects the laptop.I suggested maybe changing the wired PC to wireless to see if it changes anything, but I have a very limited knowledge in this area.Any suggestions would be most helpfull.If it is of any help, I believe the laptop has a static ip address, but the PC does not.My friend also said they get Conflicting IP messages.

I have told my friend to either use both the laptop and pc wireless, or to wire the PC directly to the modem, and then also wire the router into the modem so that the laptop can be used wirelessly.AT the moment is looks as though my friend has his NTL cable wired to his modem, which is then wired to his router, but then he also has both the modem and router wired diectly to the to the PC.
