You could always get an ISA or PCI 10baseT (RJ45) card and add it to the
router. Give it a different subnet eg. 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 and get
an RJ45 crossover cable (allows connecting two 10baseT machines together
without a hub). Give your parents computer 192.168.1.2 (or whatever) and
set their gateway to 192.168.1.1 and you should be sorted.
