Again, I am not familiar with your model of router so I cannot give you exact details but somewhere in your wireless security setting on the router you should have an option for mac address filtering or something similar. It is a wireless security feature that will have the router allow or block access to the internet based on the device trying to connects mac address.
As for the router trying to assign an IP it would have to have DHCP server enabled, most likely in the main router settings page, or very close to it. Also with the PS3 set to auto to get online for the most part the router would assign the IP addy as well as a DNS server so you shouldn't have a problem there.
Please report back with exactly what your friend did, as well as the model of router and settings they used.
