Exactly why I suggested disabling various firewalls. They might allow Quake, but we can't rule out the possiblity when it currently is not allowing for network gaming.

My software throws things in Quarantine upon finding them to not be legit. Of course, I know the program well enough to get it out of Quarantine. I would tell you the name, but it doesn't really matter as it is a really obscure virus scanner designed to be lightweight and nonobtrusive.

Yeah, that is why I wasn't too thrilled about trying to teach Dominus to access his router. He could do something in there that could mess up the entire connection or allow for vandals to get in.

Yes, it is rather interesting and one reason I was curious about this problem. I have successfully taught people who just purchased a vanilla version of Quake how to connect to my server, though unlike you they seem to experience the NAT bug which is where I started learning about using the "ping" command to bypass it. Since that didn't work, this is going back to the drawing board and figuring out a new solution. I say temporarily shut off any firewalls to test the server, then gradually turn them back on if we find it works with all off to find which is the problem and therefore the fix.

This is the latest official patch for GlQuake. I don't think the changes matter in your case.

Raadec would probably recommend WInQuake for general use while I would recommend GLQuake. In all honesty it is personal preference and we could get into a whole debate between the two. I cannot stand numerous things about WInQuake. When I found out there was compatibility between the two, I was glad to quickly switch back and uninstall the source port.

He killed me possibly with the Shotgun or Axe. I didn't know as I was busy chatting on here. I got Raadec back, even though we got into a SK war afterwards. Overall though, it was more about just seeing if you could join and saying hi.
