I cannot join some dedicated servers and all non-dedicated servers. I have enabled all of the ports that I'm supposed to.I have windows xp home,zone alarm,1.5Mbps DSL connection.I have a friend that has the same problem and when either of us try to host a game of Renegade the other can't join the game.I'm totally confused,I've seen the error message "Operation Timed Out" until I'm sick of it.Can anyone help?

I am 99% sure this is a firewall problem.
Most people who host non-dedicated servers (and a few who host dedicated) don't know how to set up a firewall correctly.
In order to connect to a game at least one person needs to setup their firewall correctly.
Hence if both parties haven't configured their firewalls correctly the connection will fail usually with a "Timeout" message.
Have you set the "Firewall Port" setting in renegade?
If you haven't then, I am certain you haven't got your firewall configured correctly, because you will need to open the port in the firewall to match the setting in Renegade.
The standard value for renegade is 4848
So set the "Firewall Port" option in Renegade to 4848
Then open port 4848 for UDP both inbound and outbound.
If you configure your firewall correctly you should be able to connect to almost all of the games.
