if he hasnt found out about quake, he shouldnt notice these, so install this (its simple to install).
1.32 Point Release.
Punkbuster (or PB, should find it somewhere on there).
And you may aswell get the All seeing eye for servers

No you have to do it yourself by installing the 1.32 point release. one post above yours is the link.

Install Point Release 1.32 and install PB. Then go to multiplayer and Make Punk Buster = Enable. Anything is got to work now !

In order to start playing, first you must update the game with the latest patch, Point Release 1.32. This update includes up-to-date game fixes as well as PunkBuster, Anti-Cheat software used to prevent online cheating.

In order to join PunkBuster enabled servers you must type "/pb_cl_enable" in the console (press the tilde key: ~ on your keyboard to open the console while in-game). In addition, you should enter "/pb_sleep 500" and "/pb_system 1" in the console in order to reduce any slowdown or stuttering due to PunkBuster's scanning.

Afterwords, you should download PBWEB.exe, which will allow you to manually update PunkBuster. Place the file in your "Quake III Arena\pb" directory and launch the executable. It will take a few minutes for it to update, be patient.

Next, Download and install All-Seeing Eye to browse for game servers. While not necessary, ASE is far superior to the in-game browser, therefore I suggest you use it.

Good Luck and Happy Fragging!

Maybee your G/F has a firewall installed, and you need to allow an exception?

*edit* but *uckin* with his firewall might REALLY piss him off though

You could try asking him for help installing it?
