What's brand/model is the computer?
Does it have an integrated network card or is it an add-on card?

caperjack is right -- you need drivers. When your friend said he already tried that, was the driver installation successful? Were there any errors?

integrated card,no errors installing drivers,everything in device manager ok,just no idea why they not showing,cheers.
