You should post this in the Networking Forum. You'll get more help over there. And tell them what OS you are using too.

Make sure that the her computer is setup to automatically grab an IP address from the router. Also make sure her MAC isn't being filtered out on the router (if MAC filtering is enabled).

You should go to the command prompt and type "ipconfig" and tell us what the IP address is. It should start with a 192.168.x.x
