Setting up a server

[Pentaren]

Hi everyone, sorry if this is a daft question, I found the faq's but the bit i wanted, whilst on the index, was'nt on the page.

I have just gone online and and trying to setup an internet server to play against my friends.

I have installed the 1.32 update, quake 3 is in my firewall exceptions list, I get the list of servers on the quake servers page and can join those games, and it will allow me to create my own server, and puts me into the map ready to play, but for some reason none of my friends can find this server on the server list, or when they choose specify and enter the name 'avalonfrag' that i gave my server, and vice versa when they create a game with the same name, and i go looking for it, can't find it - if i or they click specify and type in the name we all just get kicked out to the game start screen where you select single or multiplayer?

What am I missing, as this is getting quite frustrating

any help appreciated

I recommend if you are just playing with your friends who you trust, disable punkbuster in your server (add +set sv_punkbuster 0 in the command line) and tell them to use /connect yourip (get yourip from somewhere like http://whatismyip.com )
