another device using same ip

[zoran]

It happens. It happened to me a couple of times even though I use a genuine Airport Extreme base station, which - being an Apple product - should be better then non-Apple products, LOL. But stay cool, it can happen and there's nothing to worry about, especially since you have the most secure network of them all - a wired one.

heh ok, thank you all for the help/info and yes i know i have a secure network thats the way i wanted it to be!

Have you checked the router's setup to see how many DHCP IP addresses it is set to provide? It could be that it provides only one IP address by default, which would be given to the first connected device. If that's the case, set the number of DHCP addresses to 2 or 3.

Hmm. When I posted my 5:33 PM post there were no other posts showing between the 09:37 AM and 11:45 AM posts. I wouldn't have posted otherwise.

No prob, Drambule. Probably some caching issue.
