February 21, 200620 yr Well, 2 days ago my cable began cutting out (both my TV and Internet). As of yesterday, however, the cable company claimed all the damage had been repaired (as it was a neighbourhood wide problem), however, since the incident, I have been receiving the same error message over and over. I'm running Windows XP btw. I have checked out all other computers on my network to a small extent, and nothing seems out of the ordinary. I have been using my network setup for awhile now as well, so it seems peculiar for this "IP Address" problem to suddenly appear immediately following my cable difficulties. The other computers logged on simaultenously with me are a Mac laptop, and an IBM Thinkpad, although neither of which are doing anything unusual. Any help on the subject would be appreciated. Once again, my connection does work, but it disconnects every 15-20 Minutes, displaying that error message, and can take up to 5 Minutes to reconnect, which is extremely annoying not only for Runescape, but for everyday life.
February 21, 200620 yr Can you still ping the other machines when the problem occurs? Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
February 23, 200620 yr Have you done all necessary steps to resolve the conflict? as in, gone to the network connections, right click the network connection and go to properties, go to the internet protocol and click properties, do this on your pc and laptop, and make sure they are not both on the same ip. If they are on auto-detect ip, go to the command prompt and bring up your ip address, and type that into your ip slot for the pc, and then for the laptop type in the same ip except for the last number where you make it one higher.
March 12, 200620 yr have u tried right clicking on the LAN icon and clicking "repair"? or just disconnect and reconnect maybe..... hope that helped keep us posted maybe?

March 12, 200620 yr First off, i would shut down all but one computer and try to play. If you still get the error, you can assign static IP's to each computer, if you know how. You can go into your router and look at the IPs currently assigned out if you open up the command promt and type "ipconfig/all" then copy the IP for the default gateway into your internet browser. And look through your router at the active IPs table. I don't know what type of router you have, how much you know about networking, ect... So it's not easy to tell you how to fix it.
