We have a w/l router. One pc. Laptop that OCCASSIONALLY connects -
not
all
the time. And that's it. I don't know what my answer is in regards to
your
statement. The one's I've checked seem to either have an IP address or
are
set to automatically find one. Where am I getting lost? I don't know
what a
DHCP is. Or do I change the ones w/ a specific address and change them
to
automatically oobtain one? Assuming I can do that......? (from what I
can
see it doesn't give me that option on two of them) (One is a
connection
to
my husband work so he can get on their system via ours.) Don't want to
screw
that up either.....AAgghh!!
:
How you fix it depends on how your network is set up. If you have a
router,
ICS host or other device that's assigning IP addresses by DHCP that
will
be
easy to fix - just make sure that every computer on the network is set
up
to
automatically obtain an IP address; if not, then make sure each
computer
is
assigned a different IP address. You'll find this setting by opening
the
Network Connections tool in Control Panel, right-clicking the active
network
connection and selecting Properties, then find the TCP/IP protocol in
the
list of clients and protocols in use, select it, and click the
Properties
button.

AND - how do I know which one to delete / disable - I believe I
found
where
to do that such thing but I don't know which one.....
Here are the results of my ipconfig prompt:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\Wendi M>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : hsd1.ga.comcast.net.
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.101
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

Alright - strike that last question -- figured out the com. prom.--
There is one that has the same address -- now I delete? How?
:
Open a command prompt, type IPCONFIG, and check the IP addresses
of
all
computers connected to your network, either wired or wireless.
Make
sure
that none of them are also using the IP address assigned to your
router.

I didn't think it was necessarily a game issue - I guess it just
usually
occurs @ that time.
We have the one PC, w/ a wireless router which is sometimes
used
by a
laptop. Other than that - no other pc's.
How do I find & fix the problem. (I'm a novice - and I've been
searching
thru comp. mngmt. etc., but I don't want to screw anything up).
If you could bare w/ me.....I'd be really grateful!
Thx-
:
This isn't a game issue, it's a local network issue. Another
PC
on
your
local network has the same IP address. Find and fix that
problem.

When online to "toontown.com" and playing the game we keep
getting
an
alert...
"There is an IP address conflict with another system on the
network."
What's this exactly and how do I correct the problem?
