Installed and tried to connect.. * Connecting to se.quakenet.org (6667) - * Unable to connect to server ( Connection Timeout ) Got something to do with my firewall? What shall I change in options to make it work? I've not changed anything in options except Name;Nick;Mail Adress.. Tell me what to do : ) I really want this great software to work! Thanks //NimBretH- Last edited by NimBretH; 11/07/04 12:47 AM.
