    He may have his network secured and you would need the passkey.

    Do you have the wlan autoconfig service running? Sometimes people will tweak this by services.msc and turning it off. A silly one that I did a week ago was with my fiance's laptop I was trying to figure out why she couldn't connect or get anything, lol I didn't know it had a little switch on the outside. freekin hilarious.

    Do you have another wireless with the same subnet and/or SSID? Or is his SSID hidden. If so you need to add it manually.
