Hi for some reson my ip address has been changed, it now shares the same as my partners laptop where as it never did before. I'm also having trouble getting onto some site's, can some one please help me?

You shuold never have the same IP address as someone else on your network. Try setting the Internet Protocol properties, under the connection in Network Connections, in Control Panel, to Automatically Obtain.

I cannot find the internet protocol properties, I'm using windows vista home basic if that's any help?

Also since this problem occurred I now cannot get on to any websites that are of the .tk domain type
