Hello

I have noticed that most of the time (possibly all of the time) that two laptops (Toshiba - Windows Vista HP) do not reconnect properly to my wireless network. The windows network icon in the system tray shows connected to the network, but there is no internet access when tried in IE. When mousing over the Config Free icon in the system tray, the IP address has changed, and the numbering is different to normal on my network. (I'm not sure weather it is safe to list my real IP address so I will use an example where normal the IP addresses are 555.555.9.8, 555.555.9.7 etc. but after when this problem happens it is like 876.223.5.6[completely different to all normal IP addresses on my network]). Restarting the network adapter fixes the problem.

Is anyone else having this problem, and is there a way of fixing it?

Thanks
Daniel

The IP addresses are private IP's, so everyone reuses them. They are not your connection IP. Go to whatismyip.com. Don't list that one. You need to list the IP address. There is information there. They should be within these ranges:

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

169.254.x.x is special too
