Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - two router with same IP was connected to the same LAN

Hmm.. I think I should make this a bit clearer:

- The two routers were connected to the modem (w/ 5 public IP's available) but, using different public IP's provided by the ISP.

- The two routers have the same IP which is 192.168.1.1.

- I've already disconnected the wireless router, so what's left is the router cable.

- Ever since then, winxp computers connected in the LAN would sometimes connect to the internet, but, they suddenly get disconnected because it suddenly connects to the other router (which was already disconnected). Why it happens, now that I don't understand. I have to do a 'repair' in order to re-establish to the cable router.

How can I solve this problem?

Please help.

Thanks!
