Now if the webserver doesnt trust the proxy server it will NOT send the information. Thus, preventing the system from getting the information to the client.
As for the wired//wireless aspect. Most wireless connections give you a private IP address, yet again leading to the probelm of an unregistered IP
And if your wondering "Shes just in high school...she shouldnt know this" I'm taking a networking class, and im learning about this type a thing as we speak...litterally im reading my book and looking at cd. But yeah... just to inform you guys that im not just guessing
And seeing as the Unregistered IP is very unlikely but still an aspect but it is most likely a firewall problem.

Considering that Roadrunner is broadband and requires, 1) a routed IP address from his ISP and 2) an IP address which is registered through his ISP and runs through his ISP, and 3) his computer is behind/connected to the modem/router which roadrunner supplies, which would give it a private IP which all networks have when run behind another router or modem, which is called a DHCP server . therefore his private IP (your unregistered?) would never be seen by the webserver he is trying to access. Like I suggested before, it could simply be that the IP address which the internet sees (for example my IP address is 64.146.**.**, but if I go into my computer settings it says the computer IP address is something like 192.168.***.***) is blocked by the admin of the website, which is why I asked if the other computers he tried to access were on the same network ie at home or a friends at another house. I have had it already where my IP was blocked.
I, nor anyone else was insulting your intelegence or knowledge. Just there's many things books get wrong or dont explain correctly.
