I don't think you're quite aware of this, but you're really asking everyone to have to type in a port number in addition to the server address to play, since quake just defaults to 26000. So, unfortunately, don't expect that to happen any time soon. -
How many times do I have to say that's not an option? It's like your internet connection at work (unless you're a rogue network administrator). Assume I have the same options as that.Leave a comment:

Can you not call your ISP and ask for the ports not to be blocked?
Have you tried connecting with the -ip (localhost) command?Leave a comment:

Trust me. It's not a configuration problem on my end. I can connect to other ports just fine. It's my ISP blocking ports somewhere between 26000-26100, which is where almost all NetQuake servers are hosted. I don't want to proxy because I don't have the resources to set up my own, and a public proxy would probably give me unplayable latency. Servers lose nothing from using a different port.
And is it really that silly? Believe me when I say that other people are likely in similar situation.Leave a comment:

I think you should fix the problem on your end. Maybe a proxy or something. Requiring the rest of the community to bend around your problem is kinda silly.
Are you sure its yor ISP and not a coding error?Leave a comment:

A plea to server hosts
Server hosts:
Due to what's probably a fifteen year old legacy rule on my crappy ISP, I can't connect to servers at ports around 26000. Please set the port to something lower like 2600. It doesn't affect anything other than my ability to join the server.
I can confirm that it is the problem, since QuakeWorld will connect at 27500 and in NetQuake I can connect to friends at port 1414.
