Can a group of computers have the same IP address?

Yes and No. If they use public IP addresses, then each address is unique and no two nodes (whether computers, printers, etc.) can use the same address.\n\nIf they use private IP address, such as those in the 10.xx or 192.xx range, and they are on separate networks, then Yes. But if they reside on the same network, the IPs still need to be different.

2 or more computers in a networks can be connected together using cables or via wireless (Wi-fi)technology.\nLike all other technologies, wifi has +s and -s.\nto get more technical and detailed information you can go to http://www.cnet.com to read more.

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!

each MAC address is unique to the NIC card used. That is the entire point. While you can tell some things such as manufacture from the MAC address, your question is essentially nonsense.

if you have a crossover cable already made (the question appears to indicate so), and you are running XP on both machines, you need to set a static IP address different for each computer but in the same range (i.e. 10.0.1.1 and 10.0.1.2) then set the subnet mask the same on both (i.e. 255.255.255.0) \n\nNext you need to share a directory on one of the two systems (by default there is a directory setup called Shared Documents when you run the configure network wizard), and the only caution is don't share the root.\n\nFor simplicity since these systems appear not to be "online" at the time, disable the firewall on each system.\n\nLastly open My Computer and in the address bar type in &#92;&#92;10.0.1.1 (or whatever the address is of the system you are trying to contact) and you should see the shared directories listed.\n\nThere are other details that might need to be addressed depending on your setup/circumstances, but with the lack of details, this should head you in the right direction.

No.  Your print server will not know what to do when it finds 5 printers connect to 1 port.  It will not know how to communicate with the one you want to print to.\n\nThe print server has the IP address not the printers.  So the above answer won't work.

That is a private IP address. thousands or millions of computers can have that address. In your case, it is a device on your own network

When an IP device needs to speak to another IP device on the same subnet it must have the hardware address of that device.  To get it, it looks in its ARP table (which is empty at first).  Finding nothing, it sends a broadcast ARP request saying "would the owner of the IP address a.b.c.d please respond to me?"  The all stations on the subnet hear the request and the owner responds "this is me."  (The packet with the response carries the hardware address of the responder.)  The original requester caches that association of IP address and hardware address in its ARP table.\n\nThe next time the requester wants to send a packet to the same IP address, it would find the IP address-hardware address association in the ARP table and would skip the broadcast message.  It can send the packet without re-doing the address resolution because it already "knows" from the ARP table.\n\nARP entries age out of the table after a few minutes or if another device with that IP address (and a different hardware address) speaks up.  This was if you shut down a computer, replace the network card (changing the hardware address), and re-start, the other devices on the network will learn to know your computer by the new hardware address when they want to send packets to you.\n\nThe ARP tables cut the number of broadcast network packets dramatically (every station has to receive and decide what to do with each broadcast packet).  Without the ARP table, every packet sent would be proceeded by a broadcast packet and a response from the receiver--three packets for every one effective transmitted packet.

Once you've gone through the setup process on each of them, you just personalise them. I think it works the same as one computer setup, you or your governing body has to be the administrator and others are users.\n\nThey all have names but the main computer(master) is the one assigned in the network. Its all fairly straightforward in the instructions. Take it step by step and it should be ok. Here u go check out my link, that should giv u more of an insight. Good luck

Absolutely...  But just remember every computer shares your bandwidth so if you have 50 computers all browsing/downloading off the internet at once it can get pretty bogged down.  3 or 4 should be OK.

both computers need to be in the same domain or the same work group and the printer needs to be shared. Just try joining the in the MSHOME group and go to run, there type the IP of the host ex &#92;&#92;10.52.87.4 and clic ok.

No its not a router just a wireless modem.\n\nThis means upto six computers can connect to the net.\n\nBut not to each other!

Simple...  All you need to do is setup sharing on all three of your machines...  Right click on your hard drive in "My Computer" and choose "Sharing and Security."  It should be mostly self-explanatory from there.\n\nJust be sure to do this on each of your machines.\n\nAfter that, as long as all three computers are on the same network, you should be able to access and browse through the hard drives on each respective machine.\n\nTake note of the computer name of each computer, though... You'll need that when browsing.  In any window, you'll then enter "//ComputerName" in the address bar.  With that, you should be able to see the hard drive and it's contents...\n\nGood luck!

ya it is possible to have more than one ip address on one system.... it depends on the number of NIC's on ur system... NIC(Network Interface Card), each one ll have a unique IP address... for ur case one is the Realtek Ethernet card and the other being the inbuilt ethernet card on ur motherboard.

I am sure you meant 'workgroup' rather than 'domain name'\n(a domain is not required to network any 2 pc's.)\n\nRun the Network 'set-up' wizard on both Pc's, pick the same workgroup name.\n\nPS: you will need to re-boot TWICE...not once.

In basic terms, two computers on the same network are assigned the same IP address.

all of that or only some of that depends on their config and cart for trolling for info...\n\nIf you want to keep somewhat quiet..ip address for example...unless you or where you do your surfing is buying a static IP address then its not a problem because each time you connect...Broadband OR Dial-up...you will be assigned a different number..but if they are trolling for mac addresses that's different...tha doesn't change unless you are using different CPUs..computers..each CPU had a specific mac address..\n\nI and others I know use the free version of ZoneAlarm's firewall in stelth mode...I  think it works alright seems to from my tests
