Hi, started to play quake like 4 weeks ago, and have played alot on the nasty servers... keep getting an error with the masterserver when starting up the game, says it wont connect... im pretty new to the online gaming thing, so i really dont know what to do.

Master server?
I need more information. Are you talking when you use Q3's game browser? Or are you using a game search engine?
Is it after Q3 has started to run? Like, while it is trying to connect?
Need a little more info to help you out.

its when i chose multiplayer in the q3 game browser, it works some times, and some times it says cant connect to master server

Interesting.
It could be any number of things; you will have to forgive me, I do not use the in game browser.
Do you have a firewall? Windows firewall enabled?
It could also be that the "masterserver" isn't up anymore, I would need to look into that.
Q3 is an old game, so it might have moved on to bigger things.
