| be sure that your LAN connection is obtaining the IP address automatically. this way the router assigns each computer an IP address. you can check this by right clicking on your LAN connection and then clicking properites. click on the networking tab, select TCP/IP and make sure 'obtain ip address automatically' is selected. |

| but you'd have to do a little more than just change the ip addresses of the nodes. You'd also have to input the subnet mask, gateway and the primary/secondary DNS addresses. Not to mention, make sure that the addresses being used would have to be in the same pool of addresses as the ADSL modem. this is the easist way, and you are placing a guarantee on never having an IP conflict. |
