Don't quite understand your question. A wireless keyboard is hooked up to your computer regardless of whether you have Internet or not.

He probably doesnt have the driver for it, windows will try to get it online.
Solution is to download the driver from someone with internet access or try to find the cd it came with.

Default Computer Question

Well! Normally when you buy a wireless keyboard or mouse it will come with a dongle or an adapter. This adapter has a specific frequency that is setup for the keyboard or mouse. Normally windows will automatically detect the device and set it up for you . This will never interfere will the internet wireless signals because they are on a whole different level as in power, protocol, signal handling etc......
