Hello!

I have a problem with the ZMB Server. When I'm trying to connect to it, the step "awaiting challenge" never finish. I'm connecting to the server with the QConnect link in the server spider page.

I must force connect because the server doesn't responding to my connection request (1000ms).

I noticed too that the server doesn't appear in the QConnect interface. I tried to connect by entering the IP in Quake 3 but its still awaiting challenge.

Every others servers work fine for me. I see many players on the ZMB Server so the problem comes from me but I can't find what it is.

If someone could help me it would be fine, thanks for any support!

1. Don't use QConnect it's known for having troubles somewhat.
2. route print in console, to make sure this ain't coming from you're side (router etc.)
3. ipconfig /flushdns to flush DNS cache (migth help..or not Big grin)

Re: Can't connect to ZMB Server

In fact I can't connect to ZMB SERVER, JUMPSLAND and HYPERLAND, all servers hosted by a-ones.de.
The step "awaiting challange" never end like if the server wasn't responding to my request.
Just found this today, but I still don't know why it happens.
I tried to avoid QConnect, to do it by typing the IP in Quake and so and nothing works.

I tried and cannot too instead a ping works. Those servers are simply not responding to some players requests... maybe some strange different protocol?
