Yes, if that USB thing you mention is a Connector to the network you have

All you need is an ethernet card, either hard wired or wireless, to be able to use your friend's network and that network is set up for DHCP. If it isn't then you'll have to manually add an IP address to your TCP/IP settings.

im a little confused. unless your friend is next door, you won't be able to use your router to get onto the internet. if they have a wireless router and you have a wireless card, you can get on off their router. you have to be in a certain range of a wireless card in order to access it. i hope this helps.

You got a USB...what?? Your question doesn't really make any sense, please give more information.
