A few points I like to mention:
1) You DO NOT need to edit your host file. Doing so will only prohibit you from connecting to the Q4 master server which means you wont get the list of servers from the game browser.
2) The file already blocks the key from being sent to IDsoftware. It says so in the nfo! Consider this crack as a SKULL release + MP capability.
3) To the guy who said he used his keygen and got the MP to work. Thats just a coincidence. As mentioned before, the vaseline file already blocks the key so it doesn't matter what you use.
I have played a few games of MP already but most of the time I am stuck on the "Waiting for authroization screen". My games connect anywhere from 10-60 seconds.

Here is what did to get it to work
installed and used a keygen'd serial
used Quake.4.KEYCHECK.FiXED-SKULL instead of the deviance .exe played in sp but mp servers couldnt be seen I DID NOT BLOCK THE EXE VIA FIREWALL
then i used Quake.4.Public.Server.Patch-VASELiNE for the .exe and mp works flawlessly
good luck to all

And this is exactly what I did, but obviously I can't get past the authorizing screen.

You have to keep trying. As I mentioned, the majority of the time it would just sit there and do nothing. But once in a while, you will be able to connect.

what i dont get; how come, with the VASELiNE patch , im able to join servers in the server browsers ? also the cd check authorisation message appears, beore joining successfully a server.
this is like having the original game. how come?
does this means the server browser only contains crackes servers? some look pretty legit to me

Great for you, but it doesnt work for a lot of other folk. IMO I think its a 50/50 shot. But I havent had one instance where it has worked at all yet for me yet.

Just got it working, all I did was replacing Deviance's EXE with the one from Vaseline and removing the master server from Windows' host file.

I had the same prob. I use the vaseline crack. You should be able see servers in the list but you get the awaiting verification error. So if you add the host cmd in you don't see a server list but you can use direct connect. There's a cracked server list in irc://irc.efnet.net/quake4

Good points. For your point number 1, I guess that means I mustn't have
edited my hosts file properly since I see servers in my browser everytime,
a 1000 at the moment and can connect to them.
For your point 2, you are quite right, it's in the nfo,
I missed that bit.
I was wondering something , and this is a long shot ( plus I don't really
know what I'm talking about  ). I have the clonecd version.
The people that are having a problem with the vaseline patch,
could it be something to do with the different versions, ie, deviance or clonecd?
I noticed the nfo for deviance mentions unrar, mount, install, and
copy a crack over, whereas the clonecd one I have doesn't have
a crack to copy over, simply unrar, mount, install.
So people with the deviance one are copying a crack over the exe
and then patching that crack with another, ie vaseline?
Also, could it be that there are different cd keys for deviance and for
clonecd, and that the clone cd one somehow allows the patch to work?

Yes it IS working - remove id entries from hosts file, copy file over and delete your config before running game. Works like a charm (on clonecd version, but that shouldn't make any difference).

I've done everything you said. As of today, I am having problems connecting again. I think mchart is right, its a 50/50 shot.

I've been kicked a couple of times on a couple of servers for 2 minutes by pb for 'duplicate guid/key'. When I reconnected to one of them, it didn't kick me again. Then I quit, reconnected again a bit later, and after a while kicked me again. All I can say is, the best patches out there don't really stop the need to buy the game. Which is what I intend to do.

This patch doesn't really cut it... It only works rarely. It's good to have been able to try out online play before buying though.
Maybe id lets some fake keys through so we can get hooked? It worked on me.
This will be the first game I buy (for myself) in 10 years.
