U might try setting up DMZ on a router, or redirected a port, I do not know what causes the problem but it won’t make any harm if u just tries it.
Have u tried reinstalling windows? Maybe other application causing the problem by autoupdating software?

LOL

what happens if you place your q3 folder into another pc and run?

When I do it at home (using my home connection), it does the same.. When I try somewhere else on my laptop, it's ok.. It's definitely not caused by bad setup/config of q3.. Tried bunch of things configurating my router, nothing helped.. Might have missed something will try and let know..

Maybe XFire can cause that problem too...
