I have read a few posts here and tried my best to find answer to what
my problem is but cant find anything that helps.
I have set up a dedicated quake3 server on linux|OPS.CA| and i either
get "Client unkown to auth" from my lan"not using nat" and sometimes i
get missing server side content. not using PB on the server or client.
i have read the earlier posts here but they dont help. if anyone have
a good ide plz!

often in this case the problem ist, that your server is not able to
resolve the ip-address of authorize.quake3arena.com. Workaround: extend
the line
127.0.0.1 localhost
in your /etc/hosts with the entry "authorize.quake3arena.com", so that
the IP resolves to localhost.
