His computer connects to the router; but, the internet is "stalled". When this happens to me, I go to my Mac's network control panel and I renew the DHCP lease. Unfortunately, we can't work out where the "DHCP button" is in Vista. 
ETA: I've just learned that he can go to his command line and put in ipconfig /renew but I don't know if he'll go for that solution. (He's gone to bed now, so I can't try). I'm going to keep googling for the actual Vista control panel way of doing it.

it's a Vista issue...I recommend first going thru your ISP and then calling Microsoft if all else fails...
If nothing else...he needs to roll back to XP....
