This has been happening for years, and googling has never got me any help on this matter.
For some reason in WQ (or any Quake game/mod) I can host games, but I can't join any servers other then my own. I know for sure I can host them just fine, it's the only way I've been playing WQ for the past few years, but it never really bugged me. There used to be hardly ever any players on, and I have a fast connection, so my friends had no problem letting me host.
But now that WQ is growing...it just taunts me every time I hear about how people are having a good time on servers I can't join. Thus I am now seeking help on this subject for the first time.
Now here's the details on the problem:
I have a D-Link DI-624 router. I have to enable DMZ, and forward the Quake ports in order to host. But even with the ports forwarded I can't seem to join any games. When I attempt to join a game I get the message "Awaiting Connection" 1 2 3..etc. Nothing I have tried or done has helped.
And yes, I do leave my firewall turned off when I try to join.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
