Formatting your system would not affect your dad's systems unless you were the ICS host for all access. Something else is going on.
What do you mean by:
"now I can not. I found some info on Linksys's page that allowed me to do this, except it disconnected me from the router and would not let me access the internet etc"
Do you receive any error messages? Same problem on all systems?
You're sure the router is at 192.168.1.1?
What address is your system picking up automatically? (do the ipconfig thing)
