What browser are you using? If it's Internet Explorer, check your security settings (Tools > Internet Options > Security > Internet). If your security settings are out of whack, you might not get as much internet access as you'd like.
Are you behind a router? Firewall? Each of these can limit internet access to various degrees. It's hard to troubleshoot the problem without all the information.
Your uncle is either a dork, or you misunderstood what he was trying to do. Removing your IP won't help. "IP" stands for Internet Protocol. If you REALLY want to remove it (don't do this), go to Control Panel > Network Connections > Local Area Connection > right-click > Properties > then deselect the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" box. Press "OK".
Again, don't do this.
Instead, post a fully detailed account of the trouble. List your connection type, hardware, etc. This information is essential, especially to us non-Microsoft certified peoples.
