Also what kind of anti-virus does he have? I've seen some of the Internet Security suites cause this before.

Is it on campus or off? I know my frends computer had this problem with RR and it was one of the stupid advanced internet options settings. I just had to find the setting(s) that was different from my own and then disable and enable the network connection
