connection refused awaiting connection

[Major_Stiffy]

I'm not a hard core Jump mod player but I do enjoy coming into your guys server on occasion; however, recently I keep getting connection refused: Awaiting connection and it just sits there and counts down over and over again.  I have anticheat installed, egl, quake2max, I read on your forum that I supposedly need some special files to play on your server so I downloaded ALL OF THEM and installed them and get the same thing...connection refused.  I know the servers not down cause it shows people in there playing on it...as a matter of fact my son is sitting directly across from me and playing on it as I speak and he didn't down load anything from your server...truth be told he copied my folder over to his hard drive and just opened it up and is playing on it.  It's not an issue with multiple I.P.'s cause I've tried it many of times when he wasn't here...somethings not stirring the koolaid man!  The only thing I can think is that for some reason I was banned and I have no idea why that would happen...  Anyone out there got any ideas?

Hi,

You shouldn't need to download special files to play on our servers. 

I assume both you and your son have the same IP?  Is your son able to connect to the exact same server that you yourself are unable to connect to?

If so, that would seem to indicate something is strange with the configuration on your local computer.  For starters, please make sure your player name is something other than "Player", and that your skin is set to something reasonable, for ex: "male/grunt".

If that doesn't help, my next question would be, can you connect to ANY of the tastyspleen q2 servers?

http://tastyspleen.net/quake/servers/list.cgi

You'll see by the IP column on the left, that some of the servers run on different systems.  You might try connecting to a server like 74.54.186.226:27912 as well as 69.9.168.4:27930 or 72.232.228.186:27910 .  Can you connect to any of these?
