Help with a college computer

[Anonymous Danny]

So hey, here's the situation
A computer was purchased for college
At the college, it was setup for the college network
On bringing said computer home, the computer was set up to be on the home network
College came around again and the computer was brought back to college
Computer could not connect to internet
College tech guys had owner of PC run some program to figure out IP address
The numbers for what the IP address was and what it should have been (home vs. college) were different.

Can anyone offer any suggestions to how to change this back. The internet between the house and the college are different. (Different ISP) so is it a matter of uninstalling the drivers for the home network connection. Or do you do something like run network setup wizard? Any and all help would be very much appreciated.

Assuming XP...

Right click on My Network Places -> Properties

Right click on Local Area Connection (could be called something else) and then click properties.

Scroll down in the middle box until you see something that says Internet Protocal. Click on it and then click on properties. This is where your IP is set if it is static. If the college wants you to "automatically obtain an IP" then select that and also select "automatically obtain DNS address"
