Multiple users sharing network

Hi there,

Not entirely sure I am in the right group but hopefully someone can
help or at least point me in the right direction.

My problem is that my wife has got into this facebook lark and has
started using my old laptop to surf the net in the evenings. We both
have gmail accounts and facebook accounts and when one of us logs into
our gmail it automatically logs the other out.

I am using Vista on my laptop, the wife has XP on hers and both are
wireless. I have a Netgear DG834G which also has a hard wired PC
attached. Is their anything obvious I'm not doing?

Cheers in advance for any help.

Posting the result of ipconfig /all on both computers may help.

Do you two use the same G-Mail account?

Why I ask is because if I log into my Yahoo Mail on one computer, I get
logged out on the other, if I have Yahoo Mail open on it.
The same with Hotmail.
