A user turns on a new laptop and attempts to log in to specialized software, but receives a message stating that the address is already in use. The user logs on to the old desktop and receives the same message. A technician checks the account and sees a comment that the user requires a specifically allocated address before connecting to the software. Which of the following should the technician do to MOST likely resolve the issue?
- Bridge the LAN connection between the laptop and the desktop.
- Set the laptop configuration to DHCP to prevent conflicts.
- Remove the static IP configuration from the desktop.
- Replace the network card in the laptop, as it may be defective.
