IP address conflict between computer and Roku Ultra.
I had fiber internet installed yesterday. An ethernet cable runs from the fiber modem in the basement to my computer area. There, I installed a Linksys SE3005 5 port gigabit ethernet switch so that my computer and my Roku Ultra streaming player could share the bandwidth.
Plugged the cable from the fiber modem and the cable from my computer into the switch. That works fine.
The problem comes when I also plug in the cable from the Roku player. The computer 'local area connection' disconnects and only the Roku is connected to the internet. I then get a popup saying "another computer on this network (which would be the Roku) has the same IP address as this computer."
I have to unplug the Roku and then disable/re-enable the local area connection to get the computer to connect again.
Is there a way to change the IP of the computer so that both the computer and the Roku can remain connected and share the internet connection?
