Two Computers on Same IP - Remote Desktop Connection not working

Anonymous

I have two machines

A=Laptop 1                                    - Running Win10

B=Laptop 2 (Port Forwarded)        - Running Win7

Issue:

When I try to connect B(which is at home) from A(outside-different IP), RDP connection works great!

But when both the Laptops (A and B) are in same IP(at home), I'm unable to RDP.

Previously RDP used to work on same IP but, all of a sudden the issue started.

Does any one know what I'm missing here?

Thanks for your help in advance.

    Sorry to repeat myself but you cannot have two machines on the same network with the same IP address.

    "Two Computers on Same IP"

    -> You cannot have two computers on a network having the same IP address.
