I have a problem with connecting the second computer(wireless) to the Livebox. First computer is connected to it, so i tried the same with the other one.
I have entered the same settings in the "network connections", except different ip number (so no ip conflict there).
Actually, the second computer connects to the Livebox, but the internet doesn't work. The connection is also not stable (with the router).
The MAC address on the 192.168.1.1 site is enabled for both computers.
I have tried to connect even by disabling the windows and bitdefender firewall, but without success.
Has anybody experienced the same problem? Please help.
Thanks!
I have entered an Internet protocol
IP address 192.168.1.11
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
and two DNS addresses
First computer connects to LB this way and it works.
I have entered the same data (with different IP on the second one) and it doesn't work. Says its connected to the LB, but I-net doesn't work.

What 2 DNS addresses did you use. I assume one of them is 192.168.1.1?
But surely using DHCP is easiest?

If you are using XP, try setting to 'automatically assign IP informatiopn' or something to that effect. Try disconnecting the first, and connecting with the second instead, see if you can gain internet access then. If all else fails, remove all wirelessly associated devices, and pair them all again.
Yeah try what Curtis suggests, forcing IP addresses is just plain more trouble than it's worth at the very start. As you've found it'll say it's connected when it's not. Need to get it working on automatic and once running force the IP to one you prefer.
