You'd need registered Quake (not shareware ... nQuake is shareware) + an NQ client like ProQuake, Qrack, DirectQ or DarkPlaces.

You type "connect quake.shmack.net".

Registered Quake.

NQuake comes with pak0.pak. To play NetQuake, you need pak0.pak and pak1.pak. Pak1.pak is registered Quake and goes in quake\id1 folder (and, well, you are supposed to buy Quake to have that file).

Even without pak1.pak, you should be able to do "connect xctf.clan-rum.org" because it is the sole shareware compatible NQ server.

i can connect to clan rum, but not any other servers, and i do have the maps.
