    Hi

    My Kodi works fine for streaming and is connected to main router by Ethernet cable. However when I turn on my PC which is also connected to same router by Ethernet, Kodi will not load any sources etc. Clearly there is some time of conflict but I cannot figure it out, any suggestions are welcome. Router is set up with DHCP. Thanks

    Check the IP Address of both devices (BTW what is Kodi running on? Another PC?)

    Do both devices have the same IP address?

    They shouldn't if the DHCP is working properly.
    Maybe you set a fixed IP address on one of them?

    Try rebooting the router, it may have got its knicks in a twist.

    Nah its always been set to DHCP, just thought maybe it was getting confused assigning addresses and that it might be better to make decision for router. Maybe PC is hogging necessary bandwidth if booted before kodi?
