how do i stop my desktop IP swapping IP with my laptop
e.g. my desktop was 192.168.0.2 now its changed to 192.168.0.3, likewise my laptop was vice versa We need more information.. is this a home network or what ? are you running a DHCP server, etc or just using Microsoft's Internet Connection Sharing ? Are you running windows or what ? Depending on your setup you either need to configure the DHCP server to always issue the same IP to a specific machine (actually a specific network card), or give your laptop and desktop static IP's if it's really a big issue.. One simple thing you can try that might work tho, is starting the desktop first and see if it gets the lower IP.. (some DHCP servers issue the highest number first, others the lowest, experiment and see what happens) Regards, Chris |
