That of course depends if said friend is using a router or not. If they're using a USB/PCI ADSL modem then they're stuff - networking means Ethernet only. Of course, if they are using Ethernet and a router, that adds a whole other factor to the problem.
They are using a broadband modem, connected by ethernet.
Networking will work in this case. Most USB ADSL modems supplied by ISPs these days don't work under Safe Mode because they also require USB drivers to be loaded.
