As discussed on the CF-List and after further testing, this appears to be a firewall issue blocking port 13327 which is required for playing Crossfire.
Ways of testing for this:
traceroute <servername or ip>
or
tracert <servername or ip>
If the hops stop at your firewall, then you know.
See if the server in question is available:
telnet <servername> 13327
You should see a connection refused response instead of a connection failed.
