I have 6 pcs on a windows 2003 server attached to a workgroup switch as well as a dsl router. One day I got IP address conflict with another pc and one of the other users could not get to the network. My ip address was hard coded on the advanced tab, but hers was auto obtain in the tcp/ip settings. Her IP address would not renew, so I hard coded her pc too and it began to work. Now I have two other pc's (probably more) doing the same thing. I coded one and it now gets the internet but not the local network. Any thoughts as to why auto obtain isnt working?
Thanks
