2 things that might help

A) do you use a router?

B) do you have the miscorsoft loopback adapter instaled on the host machine?

Hosting through a router? If so, any chance you installed MS Loopback?

Also, windows firewall can only be blocking you from connecting if he has manually gone through a quite long procedure of blocking an IP :P

P.S lifco add me to MSN.

Then the 20 people live most likely near you, or have the same ISP. It's a known problem when using MS Loopback.

I suggest you get a router wich supports Loopback.

Just to be sure, ask the people who can't get on where they live, their ISP, IP... Make sure it is a router problem before buying a new one.
