Connecting to Quake 3 via BBA?

Post by Ragfish »

I'm trying to connect to quake 3 over a broadband adapter. It connects, but it can't reach the master server, and it doesn't work when I manually input a server ip either.

Is there anything special I need to do? I have my DNS set to 46.101.91.123 and PSO does work with my BBA.

I also have issues reaching the master server, but manual IP works. Are you including port number?

I too cannot see the master list. It is really difficult using my phone to get the IP address on DC-Talk, it cuts off the last IP number and also cuts off :2796x.

Set your DNS and secondary DNS to 46.101.91.123

That should make it show

Just to confirm it works. The online game section needs to be updated for Quake 3. Its DNS and secondary DNS to connect to should be 46.101.91.123 Right now it saids put your DNS to 173.69.21.183 which is wrong and probably throws a lot of BBA owners off. The description and the DNS you need to connect to needs to be change and fix

I figured it out. I already had the correct DNS of 46.101.91.123 set, but it still didn't work. But then after manually putting in my IP address and gateway, I was able to reach the master server list and enter a game.
