You might need to use a 3rd party server browser. all seeing eye is good.

Well the download is 50Mb, which makes it a demo version.

Download ASE from here: http://videogames.yahoo.com/multiplayer

It is a tool used to find games going on online. You should be able to configure it for the Q3 Demo, and use it to find games!

There probably won't be many demo servers still running though. So if you want more games, grab the full version for like £5/$8

Open the program. You configure the program to recognise quake 3 demo (refer to the program's help/documentation for this), then find servers and it launches the game for you.

master server not found is a common problem using the in-game server browzer.
as people here have pointed out ASE is a better way of finding servers .. personally i always liked
