perhaps this has something to do with q3 master server. so try to run this command [on windows systems]:
ipconfig /flushdns
if it doesn't help, then try to put following line to your x:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file:
127.0.0.1       authorize.quake3arena.com
normally you don't need to reboot after such changes, but it might be necessary in some cases

Thx Tommy, was same problem here awaiting connection on every server, now after a put this line '127.0.0.1 authorize.quake3arena.com' into host file i can connect now, nothing else helped, thx Tommy again=)

Well I
tried the ipconfig / flushdns but to no avail, and I ask you where I
write the line 127.0.0.1 authorize.quake3arena.com to the hosts file?

Re: awaiting connection ...

I have
Windows 7 and when I write to the host file 127.0.0.1
authorize.quake3arena.com so I do not want to store, access was denied!

Rightly so? http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/7548/hostsuu.jpg it does not work..

Re: awaiting connection ...

there shouldn't be any space between / and flushdns.

as for editing hosts file under windows vista and 7, run your text editor under administrator account and maybe you'll have to turn UAC off before you edit that file (you'll need to reboot for turning UAC off to take effect).

these two solutions are not the same. the first one just ensures your q3 client will query your provider's dns server for an up-to-date ip address of authorize.quake3arena.com which might have been changed recently, instead of finding this ip in your local dns cache. the second one redirects all queries to authorize.quake3arena.com to localhost, i.e. blocks them Tongue and most likely it is the second one which might help you.

besides, on your screen there's a # symbol located in the beginning of '127.0.0.1 authorize.quake3arena.com' line. note, that # character means 'comment' Happy such lines don't do any effect, they're just there for informational purpose. put the # sign away, to uncomment the line.
