Hmm. Sounds like quite the dilemma. I'll get the think tank on this one and get back to you.

1. Since you are posting on this site we can assume your internet connection is funcional. If you are using a different computer atm then make sure your computer with q3 on it can surf websites and spliff.

2. When you open q3 and press multilayer, make sure you are browsing "internet" games as opposed to local, mplayer etc.

3. Turn off any firewalls or other bullshit internet security software as it is pointless for an average gamer to have.

4. Get the all seeing eye: http://videogames.yahoo.com/multiplayer
oh yeah... yahoo... son of a bitch.

5. Make sure you have the current stable point release, 1.32. Get it here:

Aparently idsoftware no longer offers the latest up to date q3 point release. So... hmm. What a way to honor the dead. I guess you should get it from fileplanet or something.

mneh weird.

If those things don't work then there are gonna be some layoffs.

thanks friend for the emidiate answer

i installed eye but it didnt detect quake 3 arena demo

. it only detected half life

. i can surf all quake3 sites . could it be a port problem? i use us.robotics 9107 router. but i didnt do something in it's config so i doubt whether this can be the cause. : /

Umm... I would firstly suggest getting the actual game. You didn't say anything about the demo and that is quite beyond my expertise.

actually from eye it works. i found some demo servers and i is ok. some times it plays from multiplayer inside the game.

thanks for the tips guys . have a nice time
