I have this problem already for years with wolfenstein on the pc, but yesterday i tried to play quake 3 on my xbox and i had the same problem. anyone knows the solution? I think im the only one with this problem. Anyone a solution?

Try disabling 'firewall' or 'intrusion detection' measures on the router temporarily, and see if it fixes the issue. If not, the easiest solution is to use an external Q3 server finder rather than the built-in tool.

If anything, you can set port restrictions so you can host without actually disabling the firewall. Suggested retail price (though you can probably get them for cheaper from a retailer on sale): http://homestore-ca.cisco.com/en-ca/lin ... iewcat.htm _________________ GtkRadiant | Q3Map2 | Shader Manual
