Tell him to do a traceroute on your ip and see where the signal drops. That might tell you something.
Ya, had my other friend do that yesterday. He said it was going all over, but then it is dropped right at my computer so he had me install SP2, disable the firewall and secrurity center, and do "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" in the cmd prompt. Not exactly sure what that last part does, but now I'm just waiting for one of my friends to come on and try it out to see if it worked.
