Plugging a visiting Mac into my network

I've an academic friend (a Mac user) visiting from Japan.

She wants to get access to the internet.

I have a small network - a broadband router with four ports, two used by
my two machines (A PC running WinXP Proff. and an elderly Acorn running
RISC OS).

When my PC using friends stay they just plug a network cable into port 3
of the router, fire their browser and all works.

My Mac using friend plugs the network cable into port 3 - and her browser
(Safari) says that it can't find any of the websites she wants to use (I
think the message is something like "Can't find www.whatever on this
server").

I see from her machine that the ethernet card IS connected to the
internet, with an IP address allocated by (I assume) DHCP.

Does anyone have any idea what we are failing to do, please?
