Problems with PS3, laptop & ip addresses....

cactus86 · 2008-12-30 20:49:25

I have an odd problem (well i think it is anyway). I cant seem to have my PS3 & my l.top connected to my wireless network at the same time. My laptop tells me that another unit has the same ip address as the laptop. Is it just a simple job of changing ip addresses? Anyone else run into this?

sounds like your broadband router is set to DHCP and for some reason the playstation has held an address. You could just change the address on the PS manually or power on both devices at the same time. Then on your laptop Click start - Run then type CMD.
the type ipconfig /release

then do ipconfig /release

That may help.
