My servers are unjoinable...

[SteelPH]

For some reason, noone is able to connect to any of my servers at all. It's not just Doom and ports, it's happening with all of my games. They can't join, as if the server doesn't exist. help

sounds like you're on a firewall, and all the ports are closed.

[SteelPH]

My firewall's off, and I know nothing about ports. :/

I have this problem too - my brother hosts a server and I can't find it in the list at all, but it works fine if I do a direct-IP connect. As you can imagine, this limits my selection of games quite a bit (can't play Delta Force anymore because of a lack of direct-IP).

Not running xp sp2? That has a new firewall that may be the culprit.

[SteelPH]

I'm not running SP2 at all.

EDIT: Correction, I think I am.

Sounds like a case for me.
