IP Conflict. Comcast wireless router.

[FortFunFoSho]

All-

I have been searching google for the past 30 minutes reading through how to potentially fix this problem, but it has not done much. I have three laptops trying to connect to the network. At any given time only one can get on.

I have tried renewing my ip on my laptop, but it says:

"No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection while it has its media disconnected."

Any thoughts? Currently running dhcp

Are you sure the wireless router is (1) actually a router, not just a wireless access point, and (2) if its actually a router, that the routing functions haven't been disabled to make it just an access point?

Also, a model would help

Okay, so its definitely a router. First things first - have you tried resetting the router?

Second, are these machines plugged into the switch on the router, or connected wireless?

If wireless, are you using security on the router?

If you connect to the router's management page, is DHCP enabled?

Start from the beginning.

Reset the router and configure it for open wireless. No encryption, no filtering, no assigning of IPs, etc. Get that to work and then start adding things like WEP/WPA, Static IPs, etc. Media disconnected means the laptop isn't able to connect to the router at all so it can't even try an Ipconfig so it's something more basic than that.

Need some more info

"Local Area Connection" wouldnt that be the wired connection (although disconnected)
"Local Area Connection 2" would be the name of the wireless connection, right ?

Any WEP/WPA, MAC filtering, SSID broadcasting yes/no, whats the DHCP range its giving out?

What IP are you getting on the wired PC and the 1 wireless connected laptop?
