if you have macaffee (newest one) do the following.

1.right click the macaffee icon in the lower right corner of your screen.

2. go to personal firewall

3. then go to disable.

if she has a modem, go to network settings.
then right-click on the modem connection she is using.
after that click properties, click on the advanced tab.
now you have control over everything about her network connections, firewall, connection sharing etc.
