Does she have a modem+router combo device? Or two device separately? I asked
so because AFAIK modem doesn't have any address. It's just a, well, modem! Normally,
you don't have to care about modem settings. Does her router or router+modem combo
allows remote management from Internet side? If yes, this can be a way of testing if
its IP address is what you expected.
