It is simple, when he is able to open the 192.168.1.1:80 (Webserver
HTTPD on router machine), he got the IP from DHCP server (router) and is
present in the network. THe reason he is unable to open any page with
URL like http://www.google.com is because his machine doesn't have any
DNS. 
So, please add a dns ( 192.168.1.1) , in
System->Administration->Network,

Else, you may try opening Google with this in URL input box :
64.233.187.99

So, please add the DNS, and let us know if any more problem.
