I played ET some time ago, about 7 years ago. (I even remember from memory the old IP I used to hang out at: 8.2.120.143:27960) Then I moved on to other things. Now I'm back.
Let's get straight to business:
Problem: Can't join a server, any server, and the server listing doesn't work. This blasted error: Failed to resolve etguidauth.evenbalance.com is all the console produces when I try a manual IP address join.
Machine: ThinkPad X200, fast enough internet, Windows 7 32-bit, 6GiB of RAM.
What I've tried already:
> Downloaded ET 2.60b from some server somewhere. Couldn't connect to any server.
> Downloaded the recommended (and only) version from etkey.org. Still no connection.
> Put a new ETkey in and restarted the pbsrvc. Nothing.
> Read this thread, running as admin. Still nothing.
> Put on etmasters' "Rudi's hosting service". Worthless.
> Changed host file so that it reads:
91.220.53.73 etmaster.idsoftware.com
64.22.107.125 wolfmaster.idsoftware.comDoesn't work.
Help...please...
