I am running XP Home with user accounts setup. I have my son setup with a limited account and when he runs the game and clicks on join game it comes up with the following:
Important
It has been determined that the Windows Firewall is enabled and that UT2004 is not yet authorized to connect to the internet. Authorization is required in order to use the online components of the game. Please refer to the README.TXT for more information
1. I can run it under the administrator account and it works fine.
I can also turn off the firewall and it runs fine under his account.
I did this by logging in as him and using the run as function to turn off
the firewall.
2. I can not find this read me file anywhere. :bulb:
3. I did find this on the forums:

Multi-player: Open ports necessary for firewalls or routers
Make sure your firewall, NAT or router has the proper ports open
For the game to work correctly you need ports 7777, 7787, 7788, 27900, and 42292 to be open in your firewall or router.
If you are unsure how do to this, contact your hardware or software manufacturer.
Did this information help you?
Yes, this fixed the issue.
No, this did not help...continue troubleshooting.
