its probably because of two resons

1) you havent opened up your 5029 port
2) people dont feel like joining
 
First, that was an excess of .'s.
Second, if you have a software firewall, just shut it off. If you have a hardware firewall (router), go to portforward.com.
 
theres an easier way

list to open your ports:

1) open the command propmt application
(Start > all programs > accsesories >command propmt)
2) type in IPconfig in it and hit enter
3) record your "IP address" in a text document
4) open up internet explorer and type in your IP address in the link bar
5) a page will come up with your port settings and you'll have to login (if you have a password on your router, you'll have to enter it, if you dont, just click the login button or submit button
6) click "virtual servers" and you should be taken to a screen showing lots of message boxes
7) in the 1st row of messageboxes, you should have these details:

enabled box is checked, discription is SRB2, both messageboxes for imbound port is 5029, Type : UDP (its a drop down box), type in the last number of your Ip address. and the private port, messageboxes should have 5029 in them
8 ) then click apply changes and you'll be able to play people
 
yeah, just type in your IP address in the link bar
and you'll be brought to a page with infromatio about your connections and stuff

Easy!?!?! I just go to internet connections,and click 'properties',then i'll click on 'forwardport.'
 
That doesn't work, i've typed it in the address bar/link bar and it cannot find server. And i found out that my IP has 109 in it!, then it had 26, if had bee 2...*shot*
 
Type in your internal ip (that is, if you are behind a router). It's usually similar to 192.168.0.##.
## being a couple of other numbers, depends on which computer you're using.

that doesn't work on my pc either.

step #4 doesn't work,
can't find the password.
I'm not authorized to view the page.
I literally have to set up a connection.

but it worked for me

ok... the one way to find out is to... make a game and wait for people

if people join: its open
if people dont join after a while: your ports are still closed, and/or your server isnt on the master server
 
Yeah, that damn MS bumps active games off the lis, so no-one can join <.<

at least people that joined before can still play :D
