just for kicks, try typing ping in console

Yeah, like what RocketGuy said, use ProQuake ... WinQuake/GLQuake are not good for internet play with many broadband modems or if you have a router. JoeQuake, QRack and DarkPlaces are also NAT fixed, in addition to ProQuake.

There is a stickied thread in the help section and in Guide as well.

(Lefty is mentioning a trick that sometimes works for non-NAT fixed clients, but if you are using WinQuake/GLQuake that's silly to do ... upgrade to WinProQuake or GL ProQuake and never get that issue again.)

IHOC is special, hehe, it runs a special engine with an experimental server-side fix. I've tried to get other server operators to run the experiment, hehe.

Being able to connect to IHOC doesn't mean you can connect to other servers.

Funny world!

so i tryed proquake and it worked, hoo rah. one question off topic- if i run joequake, qrack, or darkplaces, can i connect to the other servers? or will it only work if the both client and server are running the same engine?

ProQuake, JoeQuake, QRack and DarkPlaces will connect to any Quake server just fine. The server engine doesn't matter.
