To help troubleshoot this problem, 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.

MAC (Media Access Control) has nothing to do with Apple computers. Every network networking device in existence has a Media Access Control address that is unique to the network device. As a security feature routers have the ability to limit which MAC addresses can connect to the network. This is done in the router configuration where the MAC address of any network device that will be allowed access is entered into a table of allowed MAC addresses on the router. Only those network cards whose MAC address has been entered in that table are allowed access to the router and thus to the network. Are you absolutely, 100%, without a single possible doubt sure that the router does not have MAC address filtering enabled?
Have you tried rebooting the router (turning it off, then turning it back on)?

You have to log in to your router's configuration utility and see if MAC address filtering is enabled. Whoever set up the router should know whether or not it is, but then some people forget.

Unless you have a second dsl or cable internet connection, getting your own router would be of no help, since only one router is allowed on each cable or dsl modem. With your Dad's permission, I would try resetting the router to its default settings. This done by holding in the reset button on the back of the router for about 10 seconds.
