How to fix internet access problems, conflict and change or insert a computer's network IP address.

Changing a computers IP address can be really important and should have an effect for those who brows over the internet through LAN connections. If there is a reason for changing an IP it should be either because the computer is connected, but no internet access, or because of a wrong IP address assigned in the computer or other problems. Making changes to your computer's IP address could somehow help to change some of such problems. IP Addresses could also be changed for reasons being that there is a conflict between two computers. The connected computer and the cyber cafe computer, or any other computer connected to the same network cannot use the same IP addresses assigned for them two. No two computers will use the same IP and still have the ability to brows the internet as others. If you had a conflict problem, you most have notice a message at system tray, saying "Error connecting, or no Internet Access” As we move on, you will find it being very easy to change computer IP addresses, that will help you solve some problems you never knew could be coursed by network IP addresses. For example, if a computer of a network is assigned as

Click the radio button to enter IP address.

"Use the following IP address"

192.168.1.25 _{<== That number 25 is the PCs IP address. For example, the sever connects to a client using that IP number. It most not be 25 but changes as you assign.}

255.255.255.255 _{<== The default IP addressed automatically assigned as you press tap for next line.}

192.168.1.2  _{<== That number 2 is the connection line No, so if you put something ells you will not have the internet access, depending on what number the provider defines for their connections. It could be "line 2" and "line 3". However you need to ask the attendant to give you.}

Preferred DNS Sever address.

192.168.1.2 _{<== That number 2 is the connection line No, so if you put something ells you will not have the internet access, except if the number you assign there belongs to the second line, maybe there is "line 3", then that 2 can be change to 3 so the computer runs on two connections, and can either pick the next connection if the other fails.}

Try to understand what is happening here. This is another computer asigned to the same IP.

192.168.1.25 _{<== That number 25 is the PCs IP address. For example, the sever connects to a client using that IP number. It most not be 25 but changes as you assign.}

255.255.255.255 _{<== The default IP addressed automatically assigned as you press tap for next line.}

192.168.1.2  _{<== That number 2 is the connection line No, so if you put something ells you will not have the internet access, depending on what number the provider defined for their connections. It could be "line 2" and "line 3". However you need to ask the attendant to give you.}

If you look through the two IP addresses, you will notice that they have just the same configuration. Now what happens when the sever finds another computer on its network with same IP? It simply gets confused on which of them to send or collected information. All the two machines are then disconnected and denied internet access. Its just like having two Sim Cards with same number printed on them. Who answers a call when someone calls that number? Well i don't know how stupid that could be but its annoying, and there is even possibility that either you or the other person can be disabled to maintain one or you both are disconnected and kept offline till fixed. That works same for computers If they had to be called like mobile numbers, though not but they still have their own way of passing information through IP's.

If you did understand something here, you will notice that the IP conflict problem didn't come from all the IP addresses assigned for both the computers, but from the first line and particularly the last number 25. That last number in the first line is used by the PC and the sever itself to either give or take information’s as assigned to a computer. However it most not be 25, but can be assigned between 1 to 400. Simply change 25 to a number not assigned to any computer of that network and your problem is solved for sure.

Lets try something new here and make both the two computers working in peace. Consider this IP to be the changes made to the one of the conflicting computers.

192.168.1.45 _{<== Instead of 25, we have replaced with 45 to bring all the two computers to live. The 45 will connect the new computer and 25 for the other.}

255.255.255.255

192.168.1.2

Preferred DNS Sever address.

192.168.1.3

You can change the 2s for connection lines, but if you dont want to then fine and still same. If you defind 3 as it is, it means your computer has just one connection and will not try any other line if the current fails.

Now let’s see how easy it is to change or manipulate your computers IP address.

Click My Network Places from desktop or start menu. Click View My Network Places from left menu. Right click the Local Areal Connection then choose properties. From the properties view, scroll down to find Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and double click to view its properties. In the properties view, click Use the Following IP address then insert the given IP address. Click the first and second OK to confirm your settings. Note that if you do not click the second OK your settings are not saved yet.

What some people fail to understand is that clicking the first ok, allowing the second one has made no changes yet. Some people allow the second Ok with reasons being that if the present IP doesn't work, they shouldn't spend a lot of time to go through the same procedure to make changes. If you did that then nothing is been saved for sure and nothing should change from the previews settings, so confirm OK and the second OK to save.

Another way to access these settings is by clicking the Local Area Connection from system tray, then properties to access the Internet Protocol TCP/IP properties.

You are done and should gain either connections to the sever or internet access.
