Hi, I want to connect my desktop and laptop to a LinkSys hub so that I can access my high speed DSL internet on either computer, often simultaneously. However, my laptop says that there is an IP address conflict and subsequently disables the connection. How can I fix this problem -- I can't get another ISP, so I have to share this IP address. To start with, if you're truly using a HUB and not a Router then that's 90% of the problem right there. A router of some sort is required to share a single internet address among multiple computers. It's fairly easy, and they're not terribly expensive. The other 10% sounds like it might be configuration issue. I would double check the TCP/IP configuration to ensure that it is set to "automatically receive an IP address". Related:

How to share one internet connect with other computers using windows XP Pro..I NEED HELP OR SOME INFORMATION.. BEST REGARDS.. You have to configure the PC's (that have Internet connection only) "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\networks" file so that it will act as a DNS server. Introuduce the both Ethernets network address in that file. For example, Internet(172.14.13.2)(172.14.13.3)PC-Desktop(172.14.14.4)(172.14.14.5)Notebook Step1: Now add this two networks(172.14.13.0 & 172.14.14.0)in the Desktop-Pc's "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\networks" file. Step 2: Desktop-PC side Net card that is connected with your Notebook, go the TCP/IP configuration Properties, use (172.14.13.3) as a DNS and gateway address also.From Advanced TCP/IP Settings make this gateway priority 1. Step 3: Notebook net Card, go the TCP/IP configuration Properties, use (172.14.13.3) as a DNS and gateway (172.14.14.4) address also.
