Hello,
I recently purchased 2 brand new MACs... One MacBook Air, and the other an iMac.
When walking through the initial setup, I set up both machines with identical usernames, passwords, etc (I did this so that I can set up both machines so they will have identical content - one at home, the for traveling. I plan on setting up rsync to synchronize data).
Now it appears that setting both machines identically has caused a problem on my wireless network. I receive an error:
"Another device on the network is using your computer's IP address"
When I attempt to "Renew DHCP Lease", the IPv4 address is 169.x.x.x
I believe I'm getting this error because I have setup the 2 - Macs with the same name, password, etc.
Does anyone have any ideas of what (and how) to change assuming my assumptions are correct (that the router runnnig DDWRT thinks there are 2 machines with the same info)?
Thanks in advance
