Hey, so I've got my modem set up to my time capsule to get a wifi signal to my Macbook and everything works find and dandy. But when I put my iPhone on wifi mode I get an error on my Macbook saying that the IP Configuration is in use and I can no longer connect to the internet on my Macbook (but I can on my iPhone.)

So I'm assuming that when the iPhone connects it boots of the Macbook because it's using that IP address. So how can I get them to play together nicely? :)

You didn't tell us any info on how your WiFi network is set up. I'm assuming that you're using static IPs; is that correct?
 
I'm not sure (I'm a complete n00b when it come to this kind of stuff.) I just set it up using airport utility (I know it;s using DCHP.) Where do I look to see if I'm using static IP's?
