Hi Jack,

Try this:-

a) Turn her laptop off - then you turn on and connect - then turn on her laptop and see if you get the same warning.

b) If not - reverse the process. Connect her first - the you connect - and see if you get the warning,

It is possible, that your daughters IP (dynamic) address is supplied by the DHCP server (your modem/router) and your computer switches on later and connects to the network/modem/router at a later time. Your computers IP address most likely is a fixed IP (static) which is not changeable by the DHCP server but is the same as your daughter's IP address. OR OTHER WAY AROUND. Your IP is dynamic and hers is static.

You have 2 different IP addresses - 1 unique to each computer.
