Hi network member!
Your friend may have to change her IP settings. Right click "My network places" and click "properties". Do you see "Local area network" or "Wireless network"? If yes, that means only a IP setting is required. (If NO, is addressed later)
Right click on LAN (or wireless, as case may be), right click properties. You will see IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS. You will have to call your ISP provider to get these values.
If you don't see a LAN or Wireless, it means your modem is not recognized. You may have to install the drivers form the modem CD.
If this doesn't solve your problem, update your question with your findigns. And the we will be able to help.

Take the cable modem out and the put it back in so the computer recognizes it.

If you have XP internet explorer should be standard. But if you don't have it you could download different internet browser installers from another computer, then save it onto a flash drive. Plug the flash drive into your friends computer and launch the installer and voila!

Clean set up method "totally from scratch," however you can't uninstall IE totally (no less than I would not advise even making an attempt the sort of factor.) Go to aid in IE and browse learn how to fix it. OR simply set up and use Firefox browser. A LOT of persons say Firefox is higher besides.

She may need the correct USB drivers, then her modem drivers to be correctly installed first before it will work
