I think you need to put the url within 'quotes'....   I'll have to re-look
at
my server set up to verify.  But the above example will only get you on
one master, not the GameSpy master or others, you'll need a separate
address for each master server.

Also, do you have a Firewall running?  If so, you'll need to put the host in
the
DMZ so that it will advertise correctly otherwise while the server may send
the
heartbeat, no one will be able to actually "see" the server.

Depending on your particular setup, you may also need to "port forward" the
Q2 ports to the DMZ machine....

This worked for me with a Cable connection and a LINKSYS router....
