When you say it runs IL-2 smooth, you probably mean on the absolute minimum settings?
  1. Whether his current PC can provide 100 Mbit/s, 1 Gbit/s or just 10 Mbit/s doesn't matter at all. Any of these will do for IL-2.
  2. I've been running IL-2 on a PC with less than half the CPU power (Pentium 4 w/ 3.0 GHz) and far sub-par GPU (4670 AGP) with perfect settings @XGA resolution with a solid frame rate of 30-40 FPS.
  3. Explain why "not even all sites will work" on that PC and in contrast, which PC you've seen where all sites would.

I agree that it's not a top-notch PC which has been discussed in this topic, but that's no reason for the issues described.

Best regards - Mike
