Ur probably firewalled.

Turn off all firewalls ur using (also windows firewall).

Can't find a firewall in your computer? Are you using a router? Look for NAPT in ur router. Enter ur ip...
If it doesn't work try removing the router.

yeah, could be a firewall problem. dumb question, did u created mulitple players starts?

in windows xp, you will need to disable the firewall or have your internal IP listen for the UT2004 port number which I think is 7777.

If your using a linksys firewall follow this easy tutorial

maybee thats it cause none of these people including me have hosted a server before and all of us have routers aswell.
and yes i have multiple player starts.

thanks for the info.

yeah, i had no idea what the same problem was for me, but then i stnbled across the firewall settings in my PCcillin 2002, and well, it blocked all incoming and outgoing network traffic except on a few select ports, the UT2004 default was not one of them....

Yea that's why, whoever is hosting needs to figure out how to have their router let UT2004 in and out.
