For some reason I got on UT yesterday and my skin wouldnt work, it was the Regular Boss Skin. So I decided to download a new boss skin the AA Boss Clan Skin and it wont work. I put the INT file in the System foler and the UTX file in the UTX folder.

Did I forget to do something, by the way I dont know if this matters but I play on online servers.

To use a skin online it must be installed on the server , too .

To add ServerPackages=boss-AA to UnrealTournament.ini .
Open the UnrealTournament.ini with a program like wordpad and add the ServerPackages under [Engine.GameEngine].

To use Boss-Skins you need the Bossface-fix

Have you finished the Tournament ?
If not add this at the End of the User.ini :
[Botpack.Ladder]
HasBeatenGame=True

After that Xan is enabled .The User.ini is in the /system-directory , too .Open it with the same program like the UnrealTournament.ini .

You find both ini´s (UnrealTournament.ini and User.ini) in the system-directory from Unreal Tournament.
If it´s installed on Harddisk C: , it will look like these :
C:\UnrealTournament\System\UnrealTournament.ini

If you think of a lan as basically a small internet then yes... Most weapon mutators need some kind of entry in the server's ut2004.ini file in order to push the mutator to the clients, either that or install the mutator on each client individually... Once you've that done it should work fine.

Note I'm talking about 2k3/2k4 but UT should be the same :)

[EDIT] The mutator's readme should contain any info you need as to what entries to put into the .ini file

If the client can see them occasionally, I'd say it's more likely a detail setting that needs to be changed, a graphics issue or the fact that it's a lower spec pc perhaps... Good luck anyhow!
