Right click on his wireless network in the Network Connections Control
Panel and choose View Wireless Networks. It's good practice to change
your ssid to so it's (e.g.) myap rather than default or linksys,
whatever. It will make it easier to connect to the correct AP. You'll
need to add his MAC address too (Start->Run...->cmd->ipconfig /all)
