How do I connect two computers with the same IP address?

Right-click the connection that goes to the host PC, such as 1394 for FireWire or Local Area Connection if you’re using a crossover ethernet cable between the two machines. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and choose Properties. Click the Obtain an IP address automatically radio button.

Do Different computers have different IP?

Every device on the same network has a unique IP address, within the network. Outside of that network (on the internet) each device on the network uses a single, shared, public IP address. Every device has to have a different IP.

What happens if 2 IP addresses are the same?

For a system to communicate via a network, it must have a unique IP address. Conflicts arise when two devices are on the same network trying to use the same IP address. When this occurs, both computers end up not being able to connect to network resources or perform other network operations.

Can devices have the same IP?

Each device on your Wi-Fi will have a unique local IP address. No. Two computers with the same IP address will cause issues. They will have similar addresses, but not the same.

Is the IP address the same for one network?

No. Most personal computers are configured to ask the WiFi router to assign them an IP address upon joining the network (using DHCP). Most good routers will assign a unique IP address to each machine (particularly each network interface) a different IP address.

Can private IP address same?

Private IP addresses within the same local network must be unique and cannot duplicate.

Can a device have two IP addresses?

Yes. A computer can have more than one ip address at a time. You can specify those ip addresses by two ways as suggested by dinesh. You can specify the additional ip address in advanced properties of your network connection.

Is static IP safe?

Static IP addresses are seen as less secure. Because static IP addresses don’t change, data may be easier to locate and to gain access to by a hacker; the static IP addresses’ unchanging nature also leaves them more likely to be hit by follow-up attacks. Static IP addresses are also easier to track.

Can two computers have the same IP address on different networks?

Yes, two computers could have the same private IP address while on different networks. Their public addresses assigned to their respective routers from their ISP will always be different. The router then uses a technique call Network Address Translation (NAT) to route packets that arrive for your computer over the Internet.

How do virtual machines get the same IP address as computers?

Your virtual machines will get the same IP address from any DHCP service as long as they have the same Ethernet MAC address (a hardware address, unique like a fingerprint, set by the hardware manufacturer of your network device). Since you are running virtual machines, they have virtual hardware and therefore they “fake” the MAC address.

Can two nodes on the same LAN have the same IP?

CEVA DSP. Within one Local Area Network, you can not have two same IP addresses (or else an IP conflict will occur). If two nodes on two different LANs have the same IP addresses, this is acceptable.

What happens if two objects have the same IP address?

The destination IP address (prefix) is the information used to bring packets to the target machine. If two objects have the same IP address this would mess up the routing at some point, making one of the two actually unreachable.
