1 is for local lan server, when you use 1, server doesn't send heartbeats to master servers, so use 2 (and you have to use it in starting command line, not config, ie. "quake3.exe +set dedicated 2 next args")

next thing you can try when server is running:
http://www.excessiveplus.net/query/yourpublicip:portofyourserver

if it doesn't timeout and you have dedicated set to 2, it should work (being listed in spider, also take into account slight delay, spider doesn't refresh its database every second)

otherwise you have issues with configuration of your router or your isp is blocking some of your traffic
