Toshiba Phone System

why do i get a system error on my desktop when i try and connect a wireless device using wi-fi?

heres the details... 2 XP desktops connected via a netgear router. now one of them, always the same pc1, if it is already online, and i try to connect a wi-fi device, say may laptop, or i-phone, pc1 always goes offline claiming a windows system error ip-conflict. this doesnt happen when the wi-fi device is online and then u connect pc1. can any1 tell me what to do? do i have to change addresses? ps: any1 know where the reset button on the router is, i dont remember my password either, and defaults don't work

1. It sounds like you may have a wireless router connected to a wireless DSL modem or gateway. You can have as many routers and modems as you want, but only one modem can have DHCP authority. If you allow every router DHCP authority, then somewhere down the road, they will hand out an IP address that conflicts and your devices will get disconnected. If you need help connecting everything, contact me at my web address. E.J. www.crossloop.com/yourcomputerexpert
