Make sure it can reach id software while it starts if you own your copy of quake4 with your own secret and privet cd key.  If it can't it will wait and wait forever and eventually accept your valid but yet fraudulent cdkey.  Now, you are not one of those Internet buccaneering pirate types, are you?  Those scurvy dogs should walk the plank, yarrrrg!

Demo works, so problem is probably with quake4-bin.
