    It's very difficult to even guess where the problem may be without out more information.

    What operating system? What browser? What security software? What sites can the person see? Is there a proxy? etc.

    TBH this is probably better suited to the networks/comms forum.

    Your first port of call is to do an ipconfig on another connected machine and compare the ip address settings especially the gateway. Then try a tracert to see how far the connection gets. Don't rely on named addresses in case the dns is incorrect.
