Having trouble connecting

[MacGruber]

Hi!
Nice to see some people still playing quake! Anyway, I'm having trouble joining some games.

For example, I'll type in "connect chicago.pulsegate.net" and it will return "Trying..."
"Connection Accepted"

And it will sit there for about 5 or ten minutes before it returns the following error:

"Host_Error: CL_Readfromserve: Lost Server connection
NET_sendmessage: Disconnected socket"

What gives?

Woah. I didn't know you could connect to Chi with that address.

What client are you using? Try getting ProQuake 4.0 or Qrack, assuming you're using regular WinQuake.

[MacGruber]

just using plain old win quake.

[Wolv]

Yeah, get ProQuake 4.0 or Qrack. It'll solve that issue.
