I want help

Post by waranger2 »

OK, Here it is. . i have DSL and cable in my house cus i am in the middle of switching from DSL to cable, I have 2 computers, My DSL uses static IP's and the new cable uses only dynamic, this is where my prob occurs, when i set my setting for "obtain an ip automatically" only 1 computer will detect cable, with out using a hub if i plug the modem into either computer still the one picks up the new cable, i have switched lan cards, still the same computer picks up cable, so i know its not my lan card, i FDisk, both computers with clean installs and STILL only the the 1 same computer picks up cable, the other computer will pick up my static IP with DSL just not dynamic one with cable ... SOME ONE HELP ME FOR PETES SAKE!!!!!!!

You are probably only paying for one ip for your cable Internet service. Your other pc needs a different client ID for it to work.
