could u be a bit more clear? i got that u have one desktop, 2 laptops, and a linksys router. your isp is time warner? and only one laptop is havin a problem with it's ip addressing?

here's a couple possibilities:

-your router is not set to pass out more than two ip's.
if this is the case then you'll have to access it's web interface. to do this you must type in the ip address of your default gateway in the address bar. then change the ip range setting.

-your router has a max device limit on.
again, connect to router and change this setting.

if neither of these work then there might be something tricky going on.

Please give an exact description of your problem symptoms, including the exact text of any error messages.

If you're using a wireless connection, have you tried a direct connection with a cable to see if that changes the symptoms?

If there are other computers on the same network, are they experiencing the same issue, or do they function normally?




On any affected computer, I'd also like to see this:

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

Type the following commands:

PING 216.109.112.135

PING yahoo.com

NBTSTAT -n

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.
