It doesnt matter in which way I change my name/emailadress or any combination whatsoever..
someone told me this might have to do something with my router, but I don't know what I should do to solve this.

t.i.a.!

Quakenet doesn't like usernames that have any uppercase characters in them. It appears that you username Audi0- has a couple of characters that Quakenet doesn't like. Try something that uses just the basic alphabetic characters, and you should be fine

it worked, thx!

I'm getting this same message logging into a different server.

I tried to change my username to fit, but it still didn't work. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I added various suggestions to this sticky thread. If none of them work, I suggest you contact the network staff by looking on their website for info.
