since yesterday i'm trying to connect on hiszy (and also others) servers but after typing the ip appears: be welcome to hiszy servers and nothing gonna happened, have u got any ideas about? it s not a firewall problem, what can i do? please answer cause i m q3 addicted p.s. the master server does'nt work since this month, it's just a my problem or it's a common one? Thank you for the attention, bb

sometimes the match starts but only after a long time;

i don't know if could help, but opening the console appears this

"update.quake3arena.com resolved to 192.246.40.56:27951 than 178.33.43.157 resolved to 178.33.43.157 resolving authorize.quake3arena.com resolved to 192.246.40.56:27952
be welcome to hiszy servers" for many and many times
