look if you have firewall on...if you have it on put it off. this can make so your server dosent show up in the internet list

isnt so correctly, u need to open port on which u want to run q3, if u turn off ur firewall then is chance to someone get into ur pc via free ports.

when u got no fw or anything u should try to start server with an extendet +set dedicated 2 ... and when u got fw u should forward the ports but u also need to start it with dedi 2 cause otherwise it starts with 1 (1=default/lan)
./Base
If that can help you :
make a second quake 3 folder with just the baisc files in it (quake 3 and excessive plus ) and any additional maps you want available
name it Quake III Server or somethingnow in 'quake iii server' folder make a new text document and name it xp_server.bat
edit the bat file in text editor so it reads
[code:1]@echo off
start quake3.exe +set fs_game excessiveplus +set dedicated 1 +exec xpserver.cfg[/code:1]
thats only 2 linesthis server doesnt show up on the spider
if you want your server to show up on the spider set dedicated to 2
the xpserver.cfg has your server name, max players, etc in it
you can use your own cfg name here if you dont want to name it xpserver.cfg and the cfg file goes in the excessiveplus folderdouble click on xp_server.bat and it should open a quake 3 console, this is your server.
to play on it, you will have to open another quake and connect to local server or LAN
After that it's pretty simple to get thinks work whit a good config.
Also, you may want to get the excessiveplus server config editor
