I guess his understanding of the issue was wrong, heh.... But maybe now that he's experiencing it first hand, he'll be able to fix it....
My mission is neutralize any b.s. than prevents people from being able to play Quake.
And yes, now that I'm experiencing this 3rd situation firsthand, I will be able to fix it. I knew of 2 situations where the default connecting was wrong, I am actually pretty happy to be able to experience this 3rd situation firsthand.

do you have port 26000 open in your router? (it's probably a good idea to open up to port 26000-26008, since servers can have multiple ports, and 26008 is the highest I've ever seen)

Gunter has something to say over at the FvF forums, suggestions and problems about version 3.95.

I'm looking at this from the point of view of an engine weakness for a 3rd party who has this problem and doesn't know the answer.

Hmm odd, cause I've been using DSL for years now. In the past I had to use the -ip parameter so proQuake could see my addy. But since I got a linsys router and XP i havent had any problems. My router is setup to connect to my SBC account automatically so I dont have to use their 3rd party software.
here's how mine is setup:
maybe you should have used the PPP att: IP address instead "-ip 68.252.44.202"
and of course, DSL assigns ip addresses from a pool, so eachtime you bootup you will have a different address.

Things like this really agitate me when I discover them.

Yah that was annoying when I was on DSL. I had to use Gunter's solution:

Argh: Quake internet connection address :(
I am using DSL right now, instead of cable and am currently not using a router.
I discovered something interesting, but very annoying.
Quake won't connect without using -ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx in my command line. Ever.
Furthermore, my ip address changes every time.
I start ProQuake without -ip and of course it wants to use the invalid 169.254.x.x ip address. Qrack will not work without the -ip address either, of course.
DarkPlaces can connect perfectly and so can Quakeworld. The ProQuake Launcher's usual workaround works fine; but I'm looking to make the ProQuake Launcher absolutely superceded in every way.
I'm in the process of tracking this down and I imagine it won't take too terribly long to deal with this.Tags: None
