prob playing online

[jonton26]

Me and someone else on this board (Guibs) are having problems connecting to servers playing Inf. online...

The only way i can browse for online Inf games, is by logging on to GameSpy3D (or Arcade), to look for an Inf game, and to launch it from there...

the trouble comes when everytime we (i say we cos Guibs has THE SAME PROB!) are about to log on, we need to download the map, the textures and all related files, while we both have them on our hard drive....

needless to say that we have installed all the mappacks and patches in the right order (as indicated a billion times on this board, and in the manual)

ohyea, also we have PCs

there is a thread in "Troubleshooting" and here's the link: http://forums.planetunreal.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=42050

Please help out!!!!
thanks in advance

Are you running any security software like BlackIce or Sygate Personal Firewall?

I am running Sygate Personal Firewall (which I recommend to anyone on a cable or DSL connection..and it's free!) and I had problems using the server browser in INF or UT, but when I upgraded to the newest version of SPF, the problems went away.

I used Norton Personal Firewall and it is the best IMHO.

Usually all Norton utilities are piece os $hit, but they bough the licence for this software from @guard.. so.

It the best. ;)
