Problem: As you want to log in to the multiplayer lobby the screen freezes some seconds and nothing happens. There is not even an error message (depending of your patch)
Solution: First, you might consider to reinstall your game. Before doing so, make sure it is properly uninstalled. I reccommend you delete all references to Civ4 in the Windows-Firewall (System menu/Firewall/Exceptions). As you reinstall the game will create new ones.
Second, open the ports 2056 (cf. Civilization4.ini) and 6667 (IRC). In my case this was enough.
Third, after you reinstalled, do not care about patches. Go directly to Multiplayer and create a new account. Apparently there is no error message like "Your name is already in use". Even if you have an active account on gamespyid, it often doen't work if it hasn't been created in game. Be creative. Try to find a name, no one else could come up with. Use numbers.
This is what helped after dozens of ports-forwarded, games reinstaled, forums read, accounts created etc.
