There is a 95% probability that he has DNS settings under TCP/IP
properties in his Network control panel that are overriding the settings
in the DUN connection. DNS should be completely disabled there unless
they are on a LAN that has it's own DNS. In that case, you need to
include your DNS addresses there as well (I typically interleave the two
and it seems to work well).
