By default most routers block this unless you explicitly "forward" connections. In the case of Warzone you'll need to forward port 9999 to the local IP of the computer on which you host Warzone. As for how to do this you'll need to consult your router's manual.

The "Lobby" button had a bug which prevented WZ from showing any games if you not previously looked at the lobby via the "IP" button. This is fixed in 2.0.8.

As we don't use gamespy you will not need to forward ports 2300-2400 for any version but the 1.x series (i.e. the "original" pumkin releases).
