Puneet 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2006 Hi! I have a Tata Indicom BB connection (ethernet based) at my home, and have been facing a peculiar problem for the past few days. The machine is dual boot (WinXP and Suse 10.1), if I logon to windows, I get the message the IP is currently in use on the network - and am unable to use the internet. However, if I boot into Suse, everything works fine. The network settings in both OSs are exactly the same. This has led me to believe that windows is the cause of the problem. Any ideas on how to get the net working on windows? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adwait 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2006 Are you absolutely sure that the settings on both windows and linux are exactly the same? Maybe in windows you have selected static IP by mistake or something..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arun 795 Report post Posted September 7, 2006 So its fixed now ? I have TATA Indicom BB (router modem) too with static IP, and I switch between Windows XP Pro and RHEL4, but never had any problems with IP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
