If your friend is connecting to a different ISP than the one you use:
Try using the machine in question to connect to your ISP instead.
If everything now works fine. The problem is most likely with DNS.
It's possible that your friend's ISP has switched to "dynamic DNS assignment"
(which EPPPD.EXE does not support)
If you find that this is what has happened:
You can switch-over to LSPPP.EXE as the packet driver.
(Lsppp *does* support dynamic DNS)
