how are you connected now?  Directly to cable/high speed?  Dialup?  Home
network?  Inet connection sharing?

Have you checked your TCP/IP settings - DHCP or custom values?

good thing to check.

can you use that to share a connection?
Does she get out aside from email?

have you tried starting a new connection from scratch?
reinstalling TCP/IP?
uninstalling and reinstalling network card?

The fact that you have email connectivity only is a little weird (unless
your provider is mostly down).

are you familiar with the ping command?  
Ping whatever you can - other machines on network (if you're on one) or
your router or provider.


Good luck.
