IP Addresses

I didn't no where to post this, so i'm posting it here.

I have 3 computers in my home network, and I don't no much about IP's. How can I get 2 of my computers to have 2 different IP addresses? When i googled this it kept telling me every computer has a different IP address but when i tried doing something it says someone else using your same IP is doing this so you can't untill they log off... so how do i get this fixed? How can I have 2 computers in the same home network have 2 different IP's?

 

change your IP with an IP changer

 

like what?

 

Solution - buy a router ( depending on what you want to achieve, a switch might be necessary, too ).

 

I have a router...

 

You should read about Network Address Translation (NAT).

 

If you have a router find out what IP range it is using. Most of them are using a fake/internal IP range of 192.168.1.x

Insure DHCP is off and begin using anything in that specified range, EXCEPT for the router's address, which usually starts at 1 (where as the "x" above is 1)

Or you could just use DHCP and let your router assign IP's to your machines.
