First, we need to know if he is actually connected to the Internet.

If you run ipconfig /all from a command line, what do you get?

Can he ping any web sites from a command line?

These questions will help to answer as to whether he is actually
connected to the Internet through his ISP. If he's not connected, he
should check his cabling and contact his ISP for assistance, or we might
be able to help him here, but his ISP would probably be quicker.
