I think this is what your doing wrong?

Get your mates ip,then get him to setup a server.
Then goto fav,list and type in his ip make sure you put :7777 at the end of his ip.
So it should look like ***.***.**:7777 where the stars are his ip ok.
then his server should show up so you can connect.

i think thats the prob your haveing.

I think you have to add your friend's ip (or he yours, depending on whom is opening the game) to favourites... A personal server won't be in the server list.... Connecting via IP should work..

EDIT: ok I have to admit, TAF you were a minute faster....
