Stuck at awaiting challange.
I got same problem, i think it might be something to do with xp sp3
i hadto uninstall sp3 because it rebooted my edimax router (yeah trippy) and it didnt allow me to update firmware on router so anyway i uninstalled sp3 and since that time i cannot connect online...
Kiku, you seem to have some inside knowledge of this.. is it sp3 that has caused this for me - you know??

hmm i am not really into it.... i am sure thought that sp3 doesnt make the problem cause i didnt intall sp3 
)
the 127.0.0.1 authorize.quake3arena.com means that the ID server get the information needed from ur machine... u send heartbeats but the master server blocks it... so it just allows to "read" it from ur pc.... i think 
i think its mostly because of the routers...
This problem seems more to afflict some users behind routers.....to besure of that just connect to server without the router...
if that goes then its the router...
If the router is using DCHP, try setting your computer to a static IP
and create a shortcut from quake3.exe where u put
"C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe" +set net_port 27660
and ofc u have to forward the port 27660 and 27960....
in general...its a router issue -.-'

Re: Stuck at awaiting challange.
i am not sure if thats the server jump*myroad, but before trying to connect on it
MAYBE try
/xp_name blabla
connect and then use ur tag....
could be the problem at terrorland i guess, since a server called like that (i think) has nick-bug!!
