Because WI doesn't use servers like Half-life or other online multiplayer games. You have to connect directly with each player like in the old days with Duke Nukem or others. There is one person who hosts the game for the rest of the players. The host starts a new game and only then is it available for other players to connect to the host's ip address. Then the other players type in the hosting player's ip address to join and play.

This requires you to plan a game with one or more players each time you want to play online. Yahoo IM or AIM are usually used to arrange these games with people.
