    Your ping is not even hitting any of the servers you typed in. If you have a router, its got a built in firewall, so turn off windows firewall completely in the security center. Also, you can try to dl q-spy [ http://www.geocities.ws/ctfbotplus/qspy.zip ]and see if any servers come up as available. You may need to add them manually, I am not sure of any master servers are still running that work with that program.

      What operating system?? XP/VISTA/7 ??

      In win7/vista go to network and sharing center

      find the local area connection to the right of your active networks,
      then right click that and select properties...
      find the ipv4 protocol hightlight that and select properties....

      Check, OBTAIN IP ADDRESS AUTOMATICALLY
      then
      OBTAIN DNS ADDRESS AUTOMATICALLY

      see if that helps...

      you ipconfig information looks like its invalid or default.

        my os is win 7 64 bit, my tunneling is my firewall i think, i dont use a proxy i dont want a slowed down connection, my isp is windstream, and i did a ipconfig instead of a ping command, the firewall i use is mcafee internet security, the windows firewall is turned off, i have a couple of anti spyware programs running, only ad-aware and spybot block any activity on my computer other than mcafee but i have disabled all of them to try this before and i still get the same errors.

              Try right clicking on your quake client, choose properties....compatability. Check run as administrator.

                Howdy. I got the itch to fire up some Quake after a long hiatus. Running Win7 64 bit now so I had to setup Qrack (newest version). Everything looks purty, but like ninjamonkey I can't connect to any servers. And sadly it looks like there was never a conclusion reached here. Perhaps it's just an Issue with Windows 7 64x? I'll try and work on it more later, but with any luck perhaps someone here knows a fix.

                  well sorry for the lack of follow-up on this thread on my part, If i remember this right, how i fixed this was by uninstalling my firewall and disabling windows firewall and reinstalling the mcafee internet security suite.. I hope that helps some. I tried defaulting all the firewall settings with no results and even lowering them to make extra sure it wasnt the firewall but after uninstall and reinstall, quake finally connected just fine... also i moved my old quake folder the one that was giving me troubles to a flash drive for storage, and reinstalled quake to my primary harddrive c:\quake ... then dl'd everything fresh such as clients and only added my old cfg from the old folder.

                    I'm using Windows 7 x64 Pro, solely and haven't had an issue with DSL or Cable.
                    Though everyone's setup is different.

                    If you have a static ip address you can use -ip ###.###.###.###
                    or you can use the machine's DHCP address, like -ip 192.168.1.100. Then even if your ip address changes your DHCP should stay the same.

                      Ok thanks. I've tried everything but a reinstall, so I'll try that next. I have low expectations for that, but you never know.

                        give this version a try http://www.quakeone.com/qrack/dev/glQrack.exe

                        It has a fix that Spike suggested for such a case. If that doesnt work try using -oldnet on the commandline

                          Thanks R00k, the oldnet command seemed to do the trick. I have run into another problem though, something to do with the Qrack files not matching up with the files the server is familiar with or some such...well take a look:

                            Looks like you're using a texture or model pack that has a model replacement for end2.mdl that's in a format the engine doesn't support. By default Quake engines tend to assume that anything that isn't a MDL or a sprite is a BSP, and that error message is one that's thrown when a bad BSP is loaded.

                            The reason why this happens is because DarkPlaces allows for replacement models in different formats to be loaded without changing the extension. This was a bad design decision IMO, but maybe LordHavoc had a reason behind it that I'm unaware of.

                            Anyway, that tends to choke when you then use a texture or model pack designed for DP with any other engine. And you get that error as a result.

                            The solution is to open your texture pack and delete it's replacement end2.

                              Oy. Well do I need a program to open texture packs? Also DM4.lit is messed up according to the error. Problems upon problems. Using Qrack, maybe I should be using Darkplaces. I dunno. I just want to play some quake, heh.

                                Still need some help with this. I'm not sure how to get into the pak files to delete end2 and perhaps DM4.lit.

                                Also I'm curious as to why i can only connect to servers when launching with -oldnet in the command line.
