He is able to access the setup menu on the Linksys router through the D-link router, so he can access the gateway address. I suspect that he does not have the proper gateway address configured on the netbook. He has the netbook configured with a static address, so he would have had to set the gateway address (default route) himself, as well as the address of the name server. One thing we don't know - is the netbook running Windows or Linux. It makes it hard to know what commands to tell hime to run to check things. It would be better in this case if the netbook were configured to use dhcp, and got the information directly from the Linksys box's dhcp server.
