Keep getting kicked off wireless network when second wireless pc is turned on

[BBCMember]

I have a pc desktop, pc laptop, and a Macbook. ATT DSL is my IPS, and the router is a D-link DI-624 v. C, and it has the most recent firmware.

I can be on my Mac for hours, and when I turn on my desktop PC, the Mac gets kicked off the wireless network within minutes.

Is it the router?

Don't think it's the Macbook, as I have no problems at hotspots.

I have a Lynksys that did that. What I did was give my desktop, that is wired into the router a static IP that is high enough up the router's range so it wouldn't interfere with the wireless devices that were dynamic.

I'm not sure if IP conflicts were my problem, but it's worked fine ever since.

I just tried it and of course it works now. If it does it again, I'll check the IP's. Thanks.

Btw, do you know of any other reason why this would happen besides an IP conflict? If so, could you mention it and mention the fix in case it happens again and it's not an IP conflict?

TIA

They had different IP's and it did it again. It was within 10 min. of the pc signing on.
