Wolfenstein

I have a question about this game:

 

I can nowhere find the option to start a server with bots.

How do I enable this ?

Since it's a Quake3 engine , it's unthinkable they're not in it.

 

And very often when I try to join a server I get:

 

Client_unknown_by_auth

 

does anyone know what this is ??

you are right I am running XP but the firewall was stopped about a second after the install.

 

But You might be right, I have a hardware gateway in my network which gives out dhcp ( NAT ) and acts a bit like a firewall.

 

Can't disable t though. Best I can do is map some ports.

 

Does anyone know which ports are required to play Wolf ?

thanks I think I'll do write them. Maybe they know

 

Strange think is though that the 'router' is on pass through everything outgoing. Of course , since it is Nat incoming ports should be mapped but that should only be the case if I should be running a server and others had to connect to it.

 

Disabling it is no option since my entire network relies on it.

 

BTW: Am I really the only one who has these strange messages ?

 

Oh and sometimes it does work but not often, most servers return the above message.

Client_unknown_by_auth - this sounds like the server is trying to do some kind of query back to you, maybe to find out what version you have. If it is establishing a new connection (incoming to you) to do this, then it's gonna require some port-forwarding.... but the tech support should be able to answer this as well.

 

Of course I don't know if this IS what's happening, but it's a possibility to look into....
