Each computer cannot have the same local IP address. If they each had the same local IP address, none of them would get a connection. Trust me, i have done it before, and it cant be done.Arm_Pit said:

Becuase your behind a common router, but the thread title says static ip which implies local IP.Arm_Pit said:
Maybe try another host?ronz000 said:
you probably think they have the same IP because when you check online it gave you the same IP for all the 3 computers but the truth about this is that this is the IP of the router.Arm_Pit said:
and Motoxrdude is right about the local IP
there would be an IP conflict and only one computer will have a connection ( whoever got there first )

Hes talking about a website not letting him download because hes already downloading a file, the IP that the website would see is not the local IP, it IS the IP that you would see when you go to one of those websites that tell you your IP, because thats the IP it sees, for exampe in my other example with the aprtment building where they router it to each room in the building everyone there could go to the same website and the website would see them as having the same IP.
I run and mantain several websites of my own, and If i visit my website with all three of my machines then it shows the same IP.
Another example sometimes my friend will come over and bring his computer and he just plugs into the router and we play online games while shes over, and in Day of Defeat Source we cant play because we get "temperary blinded for ghosting on the same IP" because it sees the same IP coming from both of us.
The website and any other website that checks if your downloading a file ith the same IP(I belive rapidshare also does) would still see the IP in the way I'm talking about, so if he is on a shared IP with other people then when other people on it are downloading that could be why he can not download.

... but i'm just telling you the reason why websites see them with the same IPWell, then, I got that part... It's true that my ISP seemed to use on router only... what inconvenience... so does that mean that there is no way for me to actually download form those site... you see, I am sharing this wireless connection in the neighbourhood... All those file-hosting webs are giving me headaches each time I tried to download anything! Any idea guys?
