Check your router / firewall configuration. Disable DOS attack protection, because sometimes the method the query the masterserver can be blocked by your firewall, because it makes to many requests. Disable also Windows Firewall.
Check the filter "only compatible server". Now you see only server where you can connect. You can see all server the other can see, so if your friend join one of these you can follow him without problems.
Like you said, your mate joined a server "not listed" in the masterserver. And that's the problem. If a server is not listed in the masterserver, probably got firewall problems and can't be joined by people outside the local area network.
