Are you 100% sure it's a Quake 1 server and not a Quakeworld server? Quakeworld is Quake 1, but it runs on a different set. Proquake, I think, will only let you use regular quake servers. Quakeworld set the standard for Quake 1 servers on the internet.

You may want to give the Darkplaces engine a try: http://icculus.org/twilight/darkplaces/

Install it into your quake folder, and then run Darkplaces. It's a graphically enhanced version of Quake that's very tweak-able... but thats not what's important, what's important is that Darkplaces can play on Quakeworld servers.

I'd suggest getting the original Quakeworld, but all the file links at http://www.quakeworld.net/ are dead now, because the Gamespy network purged all their old stuff.
