Hi all,

In an attempt to get connected more quickly, I am going to beg for some expertise.

So I am running on the same computer that I used to, with the same Linksys router.

The "only" differences are a new internet provider and the introduction of 2 Linksys WAP54Gs. I use one hooked to my router and the second WAP54G as a repeater as the first one can't penetrate all the way to the basement where my rig is.

So I cannot seem to get on Zonematch, or to connect to any server using an IP address. But I can Ping the server.

So I know something is blocking, and it is probably on the WAPs, but I don't really know where to start.

Ideas, anyone?

It could also be that I am missing a critical file in all of the reinstalling and patching. I am not sure I understand all of the implications of the new game servers and how to access them - so any guidance there would be a big help as well.

Thanks in advance.

MekTek has a new utility called Server Seeker or MekMatch or something that you may need. The Zonematch function is being redirected to a new server where most of the games out there are now displayed. Check out the MekTek download section or ask for a link on their forums, I don't have one handy (sorry).

Try this link. It's the MekTek MekMatch webpage. The link at the upper left of the page will tell what you need to know about using the page and editing your registry to have MW point to the correct server.

Just wanted to say I made it online. Things seem to be much quieter that they used to be. There were plenty of open slots on servers most of the time. I also noticed that there seems to be a higher proportion of NHUA servers.

Thanks for the help.

Yeah, don;t make the mistake of wandering into a NHUA server with a nonNHUA config like I did the other night! I'd kill like two people, and then get vaporized by one alpha from somone and I was like WHAT WAS THAT!? Heh, then I noticed I had the same number of AC rounds that I had dropped with.
