    Is your friends wireless SSID set to visible?

    If you use a program like Netstumbler, will that see it?
    As said, it could be set to be hidden from view.

    Ask the owner to look at the settings for the modem.

    It could be security mismatch. Can your friend temporarily turn off security to test?

    Ask your friend could he try changing the channel that the wifi is using. Also are you using vista by any chance?
