Turn the PC OFF !

Just kidding. I really do not understand what you might be experiencing.

Is the PC a portable ? Located close to your Kbox wireless connection ? Is it just possible that the PC is making so much noise that it pollutes the air (RF wise) and that blocks your Kbox ????

That happen because your PC take all broadband, wait until the PC finish open.

Go in Internet and delete the cookies, your PC will open faster.
Check in your program and delete all Google bar or Yahoo bar etc.

ihub is connected through a network bridge via electrical outlet.
I am having an IP conflict between my linksys router and ihub. Everytime I start my PC it appears as if both devices (PC and ihub) conflicts for IP and PC wins eventually offlining the ihub !!

I am looking for someone who can advice me as to how to fix this

Some times programs like frostwire make uploads and take all the broadband, you need to tune up downloading and sharing to avoid broadband drain.

Do not turn your PC off. Shut the monitor off when you are a way but there is no reason to turn off your PC.

If your having problems with your router, I would personally flash it with dd-wrt and change the way the bandwidth is being distributed between your subsystems

Leo. Simply reboot the Linksys Router. That could solve your problem.

If not, go into its configuration and make sure DHCP server is activated. This should solve conflicts.

What is the router by the way ? Model number ?

In Windows, Start/Execute and type cmd in the textbox. A DOS windows will open.

In the dos window box type: ipconfig /release

(note there is no space between the slash and the word release)

that will disconnect the PC from Internet. Then see if your KBox is working.

on your PC then type: ipconfig /renew

that will reconnect the PC using a different DHCP router address.

see if your KBox works again.

Report.
