Internet Connections
First, please do not answer this question unless you really know what you're talking about or have found the solution.
OK, now to my question.
My dad and myself have been in a constant battle of the wits for a few years with computers. See, he used to be the only person who knew about the internet, installing, upgrades, and those kinds of things. He has always been the master of programming, as it was his job (Before the promotion), but not in computer skills.
Anyways, I developed by growing up with the computer until I started becoming equivalents with him in computer skills. I am now a bit more proficient than he is, and usually outwit him.
We have battles of wits now with the computer. He hates it when I go online when he is away, and has many checks to see that I don't. But, I have found ways to maneuver around all of them. He kind of realises it, even though there is no evident proof. So, he has begun to try to prevent me from going on at all. He tried before, but has failed, as he turned off the cable modem and I just turned it right back on. He thought I wouldn't think of it.
But, here's the problem. Recently, I was completely shut off because, well, he outwitted me. We have a cable modem and a router that goes to 3 seperate computers. Cablevision. Their power comes from a light switch that was definately on. All cords from the router were in.
If somebody could tell me how he possibly did it, I'd definately rate a 5. It is not involved with the connection of the cord to the computer, but from something before.

lolz i had that question asked of me already and it helped a friend of mine
since your router has 3 computers connected to it that means that there are 3 different ips passing throu it and one is being blocked
open up your webbrower and acces your router from there
just type in the defoult router ip 192.168.1.1 and play around with the settings and see what is blocked and if you run into passwords just reset your router with a pen to the defoulds which are
username:admin or administrator
password:password
if you have a westel type router i can even guide you throu the whole proses
hope this helped lolz

He could possibly have a firewall on his computer preventing the connection to go any further than that. We, too, have 3 computers hooked to a router and the main internet base being downstairs. One time he accidentally turned his internet firewall on which only gave his computer the internet because it was the main one. From that main computer, if its your dads, he can control what your computer does or doesnt do. If you can, get onto his computer, check the firewalls and make sure that the internet on the other computers isnt disabled. Also check the other computers and see if the internet is working on those.
Also. Wow, no offense or anything but tell your dad to get over the fact that someone might know a little more than what he does. =)
