There must be a broken gate in the path between your friend's ISP and Geoff's provider.
The path between your PC and the other end can be checked by doing a "trace route". Go to a DOS prompt (Win98/Win95) or "command" prompt (Win2k/WinXP) and type "tracert mapleleafup.org" (without the quotation marks). Each line that comes up is a router (or gate). Somewhere in the path you will see a "timeout" (broken gate) and it could stop there. If it finds an alternate path to get through to the other end, it will continue. If too much time is taken to reach the other end by going through detours, you can still get a "504" error.
I hope this isn't confusing and gives you a basic idea of how you go from your PC to your destination.
