Probably there is a firewall between the two machines, probably on the remote machine, disallowing remote access or shielding (hiding) the entity of the machine.

ask him the IP Address provided by ISP. You can order him to check through router ip address (eg. 192.168.1.1) to find the ISP address. That address is for router configuration
you can also ask him to go :
