Quake3 won't find servers.

I'm behind no router. Directly to the hub. I'm new here, anyway. I patched 1.32 PR, all that bullshit, and I go in Quake3>Multiplayer and change Servers: to Internet. It says it can't connect to the master server. All other games (Steam[CS1.6, CS:S), COD2, BF2) connect fine. Except for this. To give you info about my computer:

Processor: AMD Athlon XP® 2100+ Thoroughbred @ 2306MHz 11.5x200 1.71v
Motherboard: EPoX EP-8RDA3+ using Nforce 5.10 WHQL Drivers
Video Card:NVidia GEFORCE 6800 Ultra 256MB AGP 8X using 84.21 Forceware Beta Drivers WHQL
Hard Drive: Maxtor DiamondMax 160GB 7200RPM 2MB
Power Supply: Antec Truepower 550w
Operating System: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 with all the latest updates including DirectX 9.0c

There are two NICs on my board, one of which is Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Ethernet and NVIDIA NForce Networking Ethernet. I am gobsmacked why Quake3 won't find servers, and even tried to join my friend via Xfire, it keeps saying Awaiting challenge. Thanks for any help.

Nevermind everyone. Strangest problem. Uninstalled the beta 84.21 Forceware drivers and then installed the 84.20 drivers. Everything's fine now. Quake 3 works now. Thanks axbaby, though.
