This is because you created a dedicated server, I suggest either looking for a dedicated server guide elsewhere because it envolves creating a config file of console commands for your server OR creating a non-dedicated server (in the start new server section set Dedicated: No) because you don't have to restart the game and you can just use the in-game console ( key next to 1). Good hunting and I hope this help those with sk8-is-cool Also to answer the Question about the can't see my server? Check your Network places look in your firewall settings make sure you have the game unblocked and listed there if not jus add the game exe. hehe, then most likely no your not going to internet But you can start a server. If lets say you have a friend that let you use the game but you don't have a key look around or go buy your own game with one ethier type of key will let you play on lan if you don't have a 'good key'. If you still can't get a Lan game going then goto your regedit file after doing the reg look for the game in software you'll see it there under Activision click on that file then click on COD4 to your right you'll see codkey click on that put in your new key close and start the game it's that easy I have 5 computers in my house with the game one acting as the server the others we lan on works great. You can change your code key in the reg file in your game just open it with notepad at the bottom you'll see code key just change that it's 20 number and letters then just goto file click save then double click the reg file hit ok and your done.
