    Could you provide more information, like which version of Quake3 is it(point release), are you running any Mods like OSP?. If thats all alien to you, what way do you set up the server. Also what is your network configuration. Maybe even a screenie of the error(f11 or f12 i think)

    If totally stuck jump onto IRC and someone in #quake.ie or #cube.ie will help

    as asked previously, what's the point release? are you both running the same patched version? are your keys valid? Answers boy, we need Answers!!!

    you never asked before.

    If your key is the same as the friend you want to play against then that may be the problem, also if your key isn't valid anymore then that could be the problem too.

    are you on LAN, if so you dont need to worry about keys. I`m betting its something to do with
    A) your q3 network settings
    B) your network settings in general

    Are you on LAN?

    if hes on 56k connecting to your server which has 128k upload, he`ll be pinging around 300. Theres your prob

    If you`re gonna play online, i think you need valid keys.

    Why not join the irish quake3 server @ games2.iol.ie

    You`ll need point release 1.32 and OSP 1.03
