Abstract
A network sharing method includes steps of generating a random waiting time, assigning a first virtual IP address to the first computer after the random waiting time has elapsed, and discriminating whether a second virtual IP address is detected. If the second virtual IP address is detected, the first virtual IP address is continuously assigned to the first computer. If the second virtual IP address is not detected, the second virtual IP address is assigned to the first computer.
