This is the esforces.com URL to the bots. http://www.esforces.com/~team/bot/ESF-Bot.zip
Just download them and do everything the ReadMe tells you to.
I have the same problem with trying to play with my friends, its nearly impossible to play against eachother unless you're on LAN it seems.
Try this though, www.gametiger.com
Search for the name your friend uses and it will provide the IP of the server he is on, you may be able to join
