Thanks for everyones help on this :lub:

the timescale thing did the trick .. thank you!

ok i gave that a shot , it just sits there at the awaiting challenge thing counting away . its up to 76 right now .. but in my consol it says im connected to the server, well punkbuster did anyways . :icon23:

yeah i put it in the dmz and it didnt work . and i opened up ports from 27660 to 30000 that should be enough. 1.32 is the latest patch?

That would be a big pain in the neck , i have my router and modem bridged ppoe , so i would have to change alot of settings on both devices .. all my other games work no prob .. there is even a preset for the ports on my router and i have them enabled but still no dice .. i appreciate the responses ...

ok i downloaded it and searched for baseq3 servers , i did find quite a bit .. but i still cant join , it just sits there counting awaiting challenge . i even opend up more ports and put this pc in the dmz on my router ..

yes sir i did that , and i updated pb from evenbalance . still no dice

hey i just reinstalled q3 again , i have the latest patch 1.32 and the right ports 27960 .. and i dont see any servers in the game browser.. so i used xfire to find some servers but when i click on one it just sits there counting awaiting .. help?
