Not sure exactly what the problem might be here. I know that there were alot of Quake peeps that stayed on the older pointreleases because of sound problems with the newer ones; in Linux, at least. (When you are on one pointrelease, you can't see servers that are on the other pointreleases.) On the other hand, my son and I had problems with NAT in that you need one public IP address PER MACHINE in order for Quake to work properly on all of them. Difficulties with the NAT configuration kept us from properly getting out; I remember we resolved it, but I can't remember exactly what the problem was, and even after it was fixed, only one of us could play at a time. Come to think of it, I think it was that the Quake ports were not properly open on the gateway. Again, if there is nobody running a server on your particular patch, then of course you won't see anything. I doubt that's the case tho...it just may be that the Quake ports are not being allowed thru your NAT or firewall.
