That's normal. :lol: Most modern webpages will give that error because the Dreamcast browser is just too old to load them. Try a game and see if that works.

youre waiting for the pi to fully boot up and both lights on the modem are lit before you try to connect?

also check your settings with the Q3A disc and make sure they are correct..

I'm confused. That tells you DreamPi isn't answering the call from the Dreamcast. If the web browser connected though, there's no reason why Quake wouldn't. Try the web browser again and see if it still works.
