Which version of Windows are you running? Are your TCP/IP properties set to a static IP address (this would certainly cause the problem) or set to "obtain an IP address automatically?
Just to make sure, go to Start > Run and type cmd then click OK. In the command prompt window that opens, type ipconfig /all then hit the enter key. Write down the output from this command or select it and save it to a txt file, then copy this output into a reply to this message.
I don't see any problems there, although I have seen cases where the Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface has caused problems, since you connect at home, I don't really see that as being an issue. Do you have any firewall software running that may be blocking access at your parent's house or hotspots, but allowing you a connection at home? If would be interesting to see the ipconfig output when you are at your parent's or at a hotspot.
