  • Answer:

    It's talking about internal ip address, not external -- i.e. the one assigned to each device by your router/modem.  Just turn the router off and back on again with bot computers booted, and it will give each machine its own address.  For a long-term solution, log into the router and give each device a permanent internal ip address.  Your router's manual or Help pages will tell you how to do this.
