They are stopping in a guest house with a Netgear DG834PN router with WPA- Pre Shared key on. They can connect to the network with there password and stuff. But when they start up Safari it comes up with Can not connect to server.

The network connection is there but the internet isn't? You could try checking the settings for Airport in System Preferences > Network:
What does it say in the Status section?
Is it set to DHCP? What numbers is it giving you?
Does this link to http://17.254.0.91/ work?
Have you tried the "Assist me" wizard thing?
"It's not working" really isn't enough to go on..

What Version of the OS (Apple Menu==>About this Mac) are they running? WPA-PSK should work fine though. If the iBook works in hotspots it's possible the router isn't set up to give out IP addresses via DHCP.
