I just moved into uni halls... and once connected to network i had an IP confict so i changed auto setup and put my own IP in.... this was so i *** LAN on a game with a friend in the room next to me.... it seemed to work but also seems a bit unstable.

day after even tho my IP settings were still set by me it wouldnt work. but if i change the IP address again it did... this network is doing my head in!

even in details of connectiong it doesnt show up any ip/4 or ip/6 we get the internet tomorrow so hopefully it myt sort itself out.

any help tho?
 
Using a static IP on a Uni lan is probably not the best idea, especially if you dont know the subnet.

Do as pedrochop says as you may still be sitting on the dhcp ip from your home network or something similar, failing that, ask the uni I.T team?
