RE: [Simply Computers] local area connection error

 

Try first re-setting the router.

If that doesn't work, then try shutting everything down (modem / router, pc's) for about one minute. Then first turn on the modem / router and when that is fully operational turn on the pc's. See if they work correctly.

This assumes your network is set to obtain IP addresses automatically. Check this in network and sharing center | Change adapter settings | right click on local area connection | select properties | choose properties for internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4).

Are you running a firewall on both machines?

how do I find out if I have an IP address conflict?

When I installed the router, I did it as Belkin instructed. First I put it
on the main computer then I used the disc to install it on the second one
and it found the connection on it's own.

I only use 1 router connected to 2 computers. My main computer I use for
email, the web and various other software since it has a larger hard drive &
more ram. The second computer is a laptop. I use it mainly for watching
videos.

Sounds like an Ip address conflict.

Do you have two routers on your network set up with DHCP enabled?

Do you have other computers on this network and is one of them setup
to a manual IP rather than obtaining and IP address automatically?
