Can't connect to the wireless at my friend's house, why?

I've been to plenty of other wireless networks, most (in not all) work fine. I'm at my friend's house, bring up the list of wireless networks, choose his, it says "windows was unable to connect to (his router's name)".

The window asking for the security key doesn't pop up. If I try connecting to his neighbors' routers, I get asked for the security key.

Another friend of his can connect her laptop, she has a Mac.

I'm running Windows 7 from my laptop.

What can I do to connect to my friend's wireless network?
