Uh, you need to setup your firewall to allow trafic, for which ever port you are using for your quake3 server... (?)

Acctually I haven't got a clue how to do it, but there is bound to be some documentation about the firewall (which ever it is).

What firewall are you running, and does it allow port mapping?

are you using a linksys router? I have heard of problems with that. I think you have to set up something like DGZ or something like that, it allows on computer to connect directly to the net.
i read that somewhere so i might not be right. look it up......

27960 is the default port for quake 3 servers if you are only running one server and you don't specifiy any port numbers.
