do you have just a broadband modem at home or do you have a router also at home ?

What is probably happening is that the notebook is not releasing your home networks isp and dns ip addresses. All she will need to do is open a comand prompt by typing cmd in the run box and then click ok, then type ipconfig /release wait for the schools network to say released then type ipconfig /renew enter then type ipconfig /all enter to verify ip has changed or you can plug in static ip address and dns ip in the tcp / ip properties of your nic.
you could get a static ip from the schools network admin, copy the friends changing the last octet only to something between 2 - 254 , you may hit one that is being used and will gey a message stating that. The dns ip copy w/o changing.
