She has 1 computer connected and it works perfectly.... A friend of hers is staying over at the moment and wanted to use her laptop on the connection so I set the laptop up with the IP address of the satellite modem (same as the desktop computer settings) and it all worked fine when plugged into the modem.
But they want to be able to use the connection at the same time... So I went home and grabbed an ethernet switch that I had... Plugged the switch in and hooked up the ethernet cables to the computer and the laptop... but they couldnt connect due to the fact that thay were both trying to use the same IP address. Which makes sense. So I called Inzone and the tech said that all I would need to do is change the TCP/IP to automatically gain and Ip and DNS... Which seemed weird to me as if you use these settings when connecting directly to the modem it wont work... It will only work if you tell the computer to use the IP address on the label of the modem. But I tryed the settings and it wont connect with both computers on the switch.
Does anyone know how I can get both of the computers working at the same time?
