Or allow Quake 3 access to the Net when it prompts you. Either way will work.

Control Panel> Windows Firewall> Exeptions tab

be sure that quake3 is on the list and checked, if not add it. I would also make sure that the box at the bottom about a notification is checked

But would the firewall stop it offline as well?


well I would not think so, I do believe quake 3 does try to connect every startup, a PB check I believe but am not sure, but you could still play it

Try renaming the PB directory and see if it solves the problem.
