I have 4 computers in my office. My old computer which was the main computer
then had a static IP set up. When I set up the new computer with Vista on it,
the new computer became my primary computer. The old computer is now #2. So I
set #2 to obtain the IP address automatically and go dynamic. When I set the
new computer up with the static IP I lost all connectivity - no internet, no
mail, not FTP, nothing. I did change the NETBIOS so it would work with the
static IP. My ISP says it is not their problem. If I put the new computer
back to obtain automatically and go dynamic everything goes back to working.
Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? I've basically lost my
static IP as it only works on #2 computer which is worthless.
