Default Re: Help my (computer) retarded parents

If they don't have a router, they will have to turn off the modem before switching over to the laptop. Each Network interface has a MAC address and the modem assigns an IP address based on the MAC address. By turning it off, the modem will reassign you a new IP.

Good luck
