Network gives two computers same IP address

Once we heard that high speed internet has finally come to our town we immediately signed up.
 
There's three computers we're trying to get on a home network, two Dimensions 4600s, and one Dimension 4700.
 
The routers and wireless network cards are from Linksys, but I don't have any information on which ones here.
 
My sister has been trying to get everyone hooked up, but the network keeps giving her and my mother's computer the same IP adress so it won't work at all. It won't even work again on mine even though it worked for a few seconds just a few minutes earlier when she first tried.
 
Any help or ideas to get it to work would be appreciated.

Are the TCP/IP properties of all computers set to obtain an IP address automatically?

Thank you for all the suggestions.

I thought I report that the network's now up and running. It turned out my sister only had the wrong password.
