Master server connection failed (2004)

hi!

I'm running a dedicated UT2004 server on windows 2000 server. I started the server in a command line window to see how it works.
and here is what I see:

[code:1:c0b064639a]

First I thought that my firewall rules doesn't allow the connection. so I turned my firewall off but nothing changes!

Can someone help me??
