I have also been unsuccessful solving a problem I am experiencing when trying to start up Unreal Tournament or Quake3. Kfm error...Unknown host in http://./Quake3 or UT depending on the one I'm trying to start. Mandrake 7.0, /usr/local/games/Quake3 Both installs went well, without any warnings or error messages. I changed the host name using linuxconf with no glory. I'm thinking it's probably some misconfigured internal port # or IP address but besides probably being wrong about that I am to anxios to do some fraggin' Linux syle to not ask for a hand on this one. Thanks....for the 2nd time Larry C
