Does he have a /etc/network/interfaces?

The net stuff should be there. You need to set up /etc/network/interfaces. If you look in your file, you'll see what types of things should be in your friend's. There's a man page on the interfaces file to help. Likely, you have an NIC that plugs into the ASDL modem and gets configured with dhcp.

First thing you want to do is check and see if your ethernet card is getting an IP address and that it is getting recognized. You can check it this way: /sbin/ifconfig you should probably see a couple different entries there, on for lo and hopefully one for eth0. If you see an eth0, check to see if it has an address, it should look something like this: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:15:58:84:4a:a4 inet addr:192.168.1.200 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:576699 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:581783 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:90631322 (86.4 MiB) TX bytes:400396659 (381.8 MiB) If you don't see something like that, you can try and running: sudo dhclient eth0 you can also check the contents of /etc/network/interfaces , you should see a couple of lines that looks something like this: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp Jeff -- 8 out of 10 Owners who Expressed a Preference said Their Cats Preferred Techno. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Are you connected to internet via ethernet behind a router or directly with a modem ? If this is the case, what is the modem ? How is it connected to the computer (USB, ...) ?
