Conflicting IP

[ENSUEchaos]

Currently I have 3 computers hooked up to a NETGEAR 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall Router. My router keeps cutting out and disconnects me from the internet. The only way I can get back on is if I restart the computer. I was checking around and I noticed that two of the computers share the exact same ip address. I believe this is the probelm although I do not know how to fix this, so that's where you guys come in.

The easiest way is to cheack if your router has a DHCP server built in, which it probably will have as it sounds new, if so make sure that it is enabled and on each of the connected computers right-click on the network connection that it uses, select properties, click on Internet Protocol and then properties and finally check the obatin IP address automatically and Obtain DNS automatically, this will then give each of the computers new IP addresses which will be allocated by your router

Also, to get a new IP address instantly run CMD and type in "ipconfig /renew" (without quotes obviously). This will take about 30 seconds and will get u a new IP address and "lease" for DHCP (if its enabled.)
