ok first things first if you have a firewall shut it off or open ports to let people join. if you have a router and have mutli computers i think you have to do port fowarding so that people can connect to your computer not just the router. if those are wronge then i dont know what else to say.

If you have Windows XP SP2, I think the windows firewall is on by default.  Make sure you either disable that and your 3rd party firewall or allow UDP traffic on port 27910 (or whatever port you're running the server on).
