Anyone able to help me with this.  I just need a basic connection.  I don't need to keep track of stats.  Thanks.

I am pretty sure it is similar to going against your bitcoind on on your home network, except:

use your router to port forward whatever port the bitcoind is on
when have have to have your friend point to your public internet address,

edit:  warning,  I think that someone that knows what there doing can take your wallet if you open up your bitcoind to the public internet.
