I think this is a dhcp problem somewhere, but i dont know too much about that if you know what i mean.

We have just recently got blueyonder, with a motorola surfboard cable modem.

This is connected by ethernet into one of 4 ports on the back of our linksys befw11s4

I am connected wirelessly to the router, strong signal, and as you can see the laptop is assigned the same ip as the modem and im connected to the net. The problem however, is when i connect a second pc, which when it finds the same network and has good strength, is assigned a standard 192.168.2.1 esq kind of ip address, which in turn wont find the internet

Any suggestions where i am going wrong with this one?
