If your connecting from a router i may be able to help, i've had this problem before. So, do u have a router and is there a passcode you have to?

He should be on a router since he's on wireless. There is a chance that he's on a wireless capable modem, but probably not.

Other than that, it's probably an ip conflict. Are you the only one on the internet connection? Or are there other pc's on it also. My guess is that you have everything set to automatically detect; it would be easier to manually set an ip address on your pc if this is the case.

sounds a lot like an invalid security pass key. Are you running WEP or WPA?

If that's the case, then it's obvious why it isn't working.
Hopefully not.

hi sorry, i took so long to reply, but i fixed it by just resetting the router to factory settings and made a new connection
