the other devices get their ip’s expired and try to renew but the DHCP is unable to resolve this problem. so what i can see happening is that your router has 10 addresses to share and you desktop being wired gets one for sure. Also this method is used by some malware, though it is pretty rare to ensure your device is set to allow a whole range of devices it might be that your device has a range of only two ip addresses which it is trying to share between itself and two your problem might also be the number of devices that can be assigned an address and time of expiry. Now i am not saying that there might be someone cloning your MAC but for some types of wireless and wired networks it is possible to compromise them by this method. using this method the DHCP would think we are the same device and say “did’nt i give you .x ip” and our machines would say “*shrug* I guess so we must’ve forgotten cani use it now?”DHCP”Sure” a few minutes later “IP conflict exists on this network please fix the problem”.
Reason for mac addresses and ip Pc#
Any ideas? Thank you :) – I remember in my university days we were alloted download quotas and to bypass once we reached out quotas we scanned for MAC addresses cloned them on our pc and used up the other person’s quota. However, before I cabled it, it had that message about 2 having the same IP address which doesn’t make sense as the router gives each a different end number (.2.3 etc). Checked modem & reset it, then cabled it to my laptop and can now get out to write this. Next day it stopped so I cabled all but the MAC, as it is near the sofa.
It worked for a day and then same thing happened so I returned it, hooked up the old one and it worked again. Same exact problem kept happening, called Linksys & went through the reconfiguring again. I again called Linksys & they said to get a newer one. They ran me through configuring the router & it worked. I was referred to Linksys & paid for 6 troublecalls. Finally, I connected a cable from the model to one PC & got the Internet. I contacted Comcast & did all their checks. Hi Leo, I’ve had a linksys wireless router for 3 years, running 3 wireless pcs & a wireless printer.
