If you're going to the wireless connection list and it says it cannot be configured, you're probably using a built-in software control from whomever made your particular wireless card. Click on the advanced settings on the left hand side and check the box ';Let Windows Control my wireless device';. Then try refreshing.

if the connection comes up in the list of connections then all you need to do is click on it, wait a minute and put the password in. if the signal from his connection doesn't come up then you may not be close enough to get a signal or he may already have the limit of computers on the router.
