Comment(by dontask):

 Update: my friend tried to connect to me again and we are still getting
 the "no known bridges" error.

 Yes, my friend is behind a very restrictive firewall at a very
 conservative educational institution ...but it's the only place they have
 internet access. Something like 95% of websites are blocked there,
 including facebook, youtube, gmail, and torproject.org. My friend does
 have access to e-mail through [educational institution] ...but of course,
 they can read all of his/her email.

 They must be doing some sort of protocol analysis, because ping times-out
 even to non-blocked sites, and tracert hits 64 hops without returning any
 info.

 The reason we're trying to set this up is because my friend is a member of
 an open source project. We are trying to use TOR to to get through the
 filtering so they can connect to our project's Google Code SVN.
