Strange router problem

ben16 · 17 Aug 2007 at 20:06

I have a PC (wired) and a laptop (wireless) connected to my D-Link router. Under the lan clients page of my router page the laptop is showing up twice. Once as 192.168.1.3 (which is what it's always been) but also as 192.168.1.65. The internet also seems to be going much slower than usual.

It's not someone hijacking the connection as the Host Name and mac address are the same. I'm using WEP security.

Can anyone help me out on this?

If I turn the laptop off the two entries dissapear. When I turn it back on again only one comes up initially but after a while the other entry comes back.
One is coming up as a static I.P and the other as a dynamic one.

No and it hasn't always done this. Sometimes just one is there and the net works fine, other times both appear and things are slow and some sites don't work at all.

It does WPA.
I'm sure it not a security issue though. Like I said when I turn the laptop off the two entries dissapear and the net speeds up.
I think it's a problem with the router itself. I'm always having to restart it when it stops working.
