wireless conflict issue
Carpediem my mate lives above a pub that uses a "dreambox" and its interfering with his internet and router
is there anyway he can get around this like using a static IP or something?

Wireless signals are fine, i can’t connect to the receiver via Ethernet because it’s ip address has been taken by the dreambox and it won’t work if i assign a different ip address for it
How has it taken the ip address? Have to admit I don't know a lot about this but is it a shared internet connection or something?
Could try this maybe?

Lol ok, well what should be happening is that everything is using DHCP to get an address for your mate's router, then it will give out its own addresses and ensure there are no conflicts.
It sounds like *maybe* the Dreambox has a static IP address, and your mate is happening to use the same address (whether that's another static one, or a DHCP one).
I suggest checking the IP address of the Dreambox (the router should be able to tell you what's connected to it), and then changing things so that the router can give out non-conflicting addresses to anyone else. So either change the range of DHCP addresses given out by the router, or assign a different static IP address to your mate's PC.
ahc ool cheers stevie
i know nothing of these things so im not great at explaining it
i think what its doing is as you've said above is trying to assign the same IP to seperate devices causing the conflict
