If you are simply trying to help your friend, a much easier way to do it is
by using TeamViewer from www.teamviewer.com. You will not need to change
any ports, firewall settings, or the like on either machine. You will
install TeamViewer on your machine and your friend will download and run
the Customer Module on his/her machine (no install necessary). TeamViewer
is free for personal use.

I have used it many times to support friends and family. There are other
programs like this that do a similar thing but TeamViewer is the one that I
use.
