   	That would not prevent him from seeing the other computers on   
   the network.   
   	I can't figure out why you get TWO completely different IPs   
   from your two posted ipconfigs.   
      
   	      Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.11.1   
   	and   
   	      Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1   
      
   	They are incompatible, unless you are using a mask that covers   
   them all (which you are not).   
   	Check they are ALL either 192.168.0.x OR 192.168.11.x if the   
   mask is  255.255.255.0
