Do networked computers share the same IP address?
915997
Networked computers DO share the public IP address that computers outside the network see. The router then can direct traffic to a specific computer based on which port is accessed (Port Forwarding). Every computer in a network has it's own Private IP address though, which is assigned by DHCP by the router.

For connecting two computers and make a network , you need  a crossover network cable not a straight normal one . \nThen you must set same class ips on them such as "192.168.0.1" & "192.168.0.2" all with "255.255.255.0" subnet mask .\nWhen you set these values you can browse the other compter by its ip address .\nnote : you must enable the File sharing on atleast one computer , otherwise you can not browse your network .

Yes there are lots of different ways to accomplish this.\n\nIf both computers have network cards you can use a crossover cable(network cable with specific wires crossed) to connect them setup ip addresses and file sharing.\n\nUse a router or switch and plug them both in with regular network cables. \n\nUse serial cables and setup a direct connection.\n\nIf both have wireless cards you can setup an adhoc network between the two or get a wireless router and plug one in and have the other wireless.

it means that the network address that your computer picked up is the same as another on the network.  you probably have it so your computer has locked in a network address, and you want the computer to find the best address for you...this can be changed in your network preferences....let me know if you need steps through this.

Do want to give the same IP address to multiple MAC addresses?  Why would you want to do that?  You can create IP reservations for MAC addresses in DHCP.  If you assign the same IP address to 2 differnet workstations, they both would conflict and wouldn't get a connection.

Function, NO...Desciption below....\nEvery machine on the Internet has a unique identifying number, called an IP Address. A typical IP address looks like this: \n\n216.27.61.137 \nTo make it easier for us humans to remember, IP addresses are normally expressed in decimal format as a "dotted decimal number" like the one above. But computers communicate in binary form. Look at the same IP address in binary: \n\n\n11011000.00011011.00111101.100... \nThe four numbers in an IP address are called octets, because they each have eight positions when viewed in binary form. If you add all the positions together, you get 32, which is why IP addresses are considered 32-bit numbers. Since each of the eight positions can have two different states (1 or 0) the total number of possible combinations per octet is 28 or 256. So each octet can contain any value between 0 and 255. Combine the four octets and you get 232 or a possible 4,294,967,296 unique values! \n\nOut of the almost 4.3 billion possible combinations, certain values are restricted from use as typical IP addresses. For example, the IP address 0.0.0.0 is reserved for the default network and the address 255.255.255.255 is used for broadcasts. \n\nThe octets serve a purpose other than simply separating the numbers. They are used to create classes of IP addresses that can be assigned to a particular business, government or other entity based on size and need. The octets are split into two sections: Net and Host. The Net section always contains the first octet. It is used to identify the network that a computer belongs to. Host (sometimes referred to as Node) identifies the actual computer on the network. The Host section always contains the last octet. There are five IP classes plus certain special addresses: \n\n\nDefault Network - The IP address of 0.0.0.0 is used for the default network. \n\nClass A - This class is for very large networks, such as a major international company might have. IP addresses with a first octet from 1 to 126 are part of this class. The other three octets are used to identify each host. This means that there are 126 Class A networks each with 16,777,214 (224 -2) possible hosts for a total of 2,147,483,648 (231) unique IP addresses. Class A networks account for half of the total available IP addresses. In Class A networks, the high order bit value (the very first binary number) in the first octet is always 0. \nNet Host or Node \n115. 24.53.107 \n\n\n\nLoopback - The IP address 127.0.0.1 is used as the loopback address. This means that it is used by the host computer to send a message back to itself. It is commonly used for troubleshooting and network testing. \n\nClass B - Class B is used for medium-sized networks. A good example is a large college campus. IP addresses with a first octet from 128 to 191 are part of this class. Class B addresses also include the second octet as part of the Net identifier. The other two octets are used to identify each host. This means that there are 16,384 (214) Class B networks each with 65,534 (216 -2) possible hosts for a total of 1,073,741,824 (230) unique IP addresses. Class B networks make up a quarter of the total available IP addresses. Class B networks have a first bit value of 1 and a second bit value of 0 in the first octet. \nNet Host or Node \n145.24. 53.107 \n\n\n\nClass C - Class C addresses are commonly used for small to mid-size businesses. IP addresses with a first octet from 192 to 223 are part of this class. Class C addresses also include the second and third octets as part of the Net identifier. The last octet is used to identify each host. This means that there are 2,097,152 (221) Class C networks each with 254 (28 -2) possible hosts for a total of 536,870,912 (229) unique IP addresses. Class C networks make up an eighth of the total available IP addresses. Class C networks have a first bit value of 1, second bit value of 1 and a third bit value of 0 in the first octet. \nNet Host or Node \n195

There is a program called Tcpview. Sometimes it will show the IP. But not always.

Depending on if your interenet service provider uses dynamic or static IP addresses, there is a possibility that you can have more than one.  The link below explains it all in layman's terms.  Hope this helps!

Yes. \nI assume that you have this situation:\n\nYou have a computer connected to a wireless computer via a cable.  \n\nYou have a second wireless computer that can normally access the first wireless computer. \n\nYou want to access the wired computer from the second wireless computer. \n\nThe key component of this problem is that the first wireless computer will have to bridge the network connections for that wired connection.  This is the principal behind "Internet Connection Sharing".  If you are using Windows XP,  on the first wireless computer you have to open "network connections" from the control panel.  Select the wired connection and right-click to reveal "Bridge Connections".  Bridge the wireless connection to the wired computer.  \n\nCAUTION: This will allow anywone else with a wireless connection access to both machines UNLESS you enable wireless security (such as WEP or better-- WPA, or WPA2) \n\nYou will now be able to connect to the wired computer by IP address from the second wireless computer.

Use "netstat" command. Can show what ip's are conneceted, what ports are listening, etc.

Hopefully i'm understanding this correctly.\nSo you have a machines connected to a router, and they all now have internet access but you want them to see each other in a local access network?\n\nThat would probably require some simple configuration to allow filesharing on all the machines, and you can find the wizard for that in the networking part of the control panel.

In most cases, the IP address is assigned by the network that the PC is connected to.  It is stored in the PC (if you're running Windows, RUN... the command line program called ipconfig to see what your IP address is).   The reason it doesn't often change is that when and if it is reassigned, the network will often assign the same address as before.\n\n(There is another address, called the MAC address, which is assigned at the factory and is permanently unique.   There's not normally any reason to be concerned with it.  It is used at a low level in the communication protocols.)

Yes it is possible.  If you are using a windows network, the   configuration is almost identical to that of having 2 wired computers. \n\n1. Configure all computers on the network to have the same workgroup\n\n2. Enable file and printer sharing on both systems\n\nThe configuration all depends on which operating system you are running.

laptop and desktop?..\n\ngoto network connection properties of both computers, enter IP address and subnet mask on both computers to the same subnet and use a 'cross over' cable to connect both. And yes, better if they are in the same workgroup!

There are two scenarios.\n\n1) The other PC is local or nearby, and you can physically go and check it.\n\n2) It's not and you can't. In this case finding out where it physcially is can be very hard or impossible.\n\nThe phrase 'networking with another pc' is a bit vague, but in general if you can 'ping' the other computer over the network or Internet then they are networked.\n\nFor example if your computer has Internet address of 192.168.1.1 and the other computer is 192.168.1.100, by typing:\n\nping 192.168.1.100 from your command prompt it will reply and tell you that you are talking.\n\nIf the question is, 'Is my computer communicating with another computer without my knowledge, how can I tell?', then type:\n\nnetstat -an\n\nfrom either Windows or Unix command prompts, and look at all the lines that end ESTABLISHED. Those are established connections between your computer (Local Address) and another computer (Foreign Address). Good luck.

if they have file sharing enabled you will be able to see their shares quite easily. You could also log into their folders with a user id and password. As many user id's are owner and a blank password, it is possible to seriously compromise a computer. keep in mind the wireless connection is also on the inside of the nat virtual firewall so unless the other pc is running a firewall, then even more entry points exist.

u have assigned IP address..TCP&#92;IP will resolve computer names
