Ok, I am on my knees begging you all to help me....

I help run a local computer club, where we have a regular Lan quake/quake2
fest every week......

now the problem....when I join anybodys server, all is fine.....BUT, when I
start a server off myself, no-one can join, and if anyone can join, they
just get disconnected with a "cl-parserve" error??? any ideas???

my system is a P2 300, 128meg ram, 8gig hd, 4 meg 3dfx. my network card is a
realtek rtl8029 adapter.

I have installed this card umpteen times, but still get the same
results........why??? is it just a crap card??? is my system crap??? is it a
quake problem???can it be fixed???

Your help would be most appreciated
TIA
Ray

 It's probably a problem with you network drivers, i have had the same
experience with my local lan network.
 I guess you are running Win98 on some of your computers and since Win98 has
an error in the network drivers for Realtek 8029 network cards you need to
update them.
 Here is a link where you can get them:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/cn/driver/8029-driver.htm

hope it works out for you

Here is how you should change the drivers.
Remove the card from the device manager, dont reboot.
Remove these drivers RTL8029.SYS and NETRTP.INF.
Reboot and use the new drivers you downloaded.

Why not just go to the control panel>system>device manager highlight your
network card>properties>driver>update drivers and point it to the new files.
Worked for me.Haven't had a problem since.
