I just recently built my parent's a new computer after
their old one's hard drive died. Before that, though,
their computer was the host wireless base station for our
little home network.

So now with their new computer (without changing any of
the physical wires, just plugging the ethernet cable into
the new computer) I install the software and go to setup
the base station, and it doesn't detect it.

I haven't changed anything, just plugged it right back
into the computer, and it won't see it. Says theres no
internet access, except the other computers on the
wireless network are able to get on the internet.

What am I supposed to?

You don't need to install the software on the wired computer.
