Rookie Question

[Peter Rose]

I hope I'm not being dense, but is your friend running his own DNS on an
internal home network only, or has he got IP's allocated from his ISP?

If not, that's the first thing you need!

Otherwise, if he has a fixed ip and domain name, then of course all he
needs to do is modify the dns entry with whoever his registrar is
(Network Solutions etc) to point to his own dns and not the current dns
provider.
