 Replying to [comment:7 dontask]:
 > Update: my friend tried to connect to me again and we are still getting
 the "no known bridges" error.

 Please come to IRC so we can discuss your options further.  The Tor
 Project's main IRC channel is #tor on irc.oftc.net; you can use both Tor
 and SSL when connecting to OFTC's IRC network.

 > 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.

 That's just blocking of all ICMP packets, not any fancy protocol analysis.

 > 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.

 > 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.

 As a stopgap measure, you could export the Subversion repository to Git
 using git-svn, and then mail Git bundles back and forth.  (And hope the
 censors believe that the bundles don't contain any secret messages.)
