Router issues

My boss got a IBM laptop (Centrino) and hooked it up to his pre-existing network. He uses a DLink wireless router and it's attacted to his Tivo and his desktop computer.

Everything worked fine until he started using his laptop on the network. Now every time he shuts the laptop down, the Tivo stops working as well. In fact, the only thing he can do to get the Tivo to work again is to rest the router.

I believe his condition recently changed but it's the same type of issue: a conflict using the wireless router when the laptop is shutdown.

I have no idea how to fix this problem, and he wants me to check it out tomorrow.

Please give me ideas!
 
Make sure the DHCP is working ok it sounds like only 1 ip is getting assigned to the router (if I understand his setup correctly).
 
I think that you will have to go into the router's software and manually look at the assigned ip's. Make sure there is one assigned for the tivo and laptop. You may need to look at the main router for the preexisting network and see that it is just not assigning the other router 1 ip. This may not be right but its where I'd start. Good luck.
