I believe that's normal when you are hosting from a home computer. I had that same problem way back. You'll find when you actually enter the server, you will have a normal ping. Hope this helps.

it's actually not the xp firewall that matters, you have to unlock the ports in the firewall of your router

Make sure to have exactly those ports unlocked that u have defined in your serversetup (default is : 27888, but you can also put there any other number between 1 and 65000-something except a few exceptions)

just make sure you have that special port unlocked that u are using (both for udp and tcp)
