Hi...

Hope you can help with this Cry

...

I have a 2-computer LAN network with a router here at home, so the internet connection is shared..

One is the desktop, running Windows XP Pro SP2... the other one is a laptop running Windows 2000 with all service packs and updates...

The problem is that -recently, I don't know why- I can't have the 2 computers connected to the LAN at the same time. ALWAYS, one of them freezes and I can't do anything but moving the cursor... the HDD led keeps on all time.

Just when I unplug the LAN cable to a computer, the other one STOPS freezing.

I have to reset the router or restart one of the computers and I'm lucky if it doesn't happen again...

I scanned both computers with AVG antivirus and the XP one with Windows Defender... nothing found...

Hope you can help... this really sucks.... Cry

Maybe it's an IP conflict.

Do they have fixed IPs or does Windows assign them?

They have static IPs

192.168.1.136
192.168.1.137

Now what I have to do for them not to freeze is that I have to disconnect either of them and wait for the other one to load Windows completely... then I can connect both (one at a time)

i really dont know about much about routers, although i hav one, but do u know anyone else who has a router u can try, to see if it works?

thats usually the best thing to do if it's a hardware issue...
