I am sorry, I dont know if this question is already asked (afaik this wasnt asked based on my search results). I have a computer running a software that needs license from a server in my company's domain. For pulling the license, I need to connect to the company network. Also there is a hardware setup in our company which is not integrated to the network. And I need to process some data from the hardware, and the data has to be shared with the software. So, I make two connections, one ethernet connection to the hardware and other wireless for using the software's license. I tried accessing the data from the hardware in the software through hardware's IP address. The problem is, there is another computer in our company from another location sharing the same IP as the Hardware, and the software tries retrieving the data from that computer and fails. I am sorry, if this is priliminary and I am not a networking person.

Simply put, one of the two systems need to change its IP address.

The alternatives are usually too complex and error prone, and their viability depends on the particularity of your environment:

  • Use arp command to force your PC IP-Mac mapping
  • Put a router in front of your hardware that does port forwarding
  • Use VLANs
