oblivion989 Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Hey guys, I think I found a fix for all of you who get stuck finding Internet servers. I am on a college connection, and for some reason, I couldn't get to the master server, I am not behind a proxy or anything, so if you are, this may not work. Here's what you need to do.... 1) Go to your windows directors, then system32\drivers\etc It may look like "c:\windows\system32\etc" for you. 2) Open up the "hosts" file. It should have NO extension. Make a backup of this file just in case. 3) Make a new line and enter this line in at the bottom. 204.97.248.90 masterjk2.ravensoft.com You may have other entries in there, it doesn't matter, just put this one on a new line. 4) Save the file. Make sure you didn't save it with an extension. 5) Open up JK and (hopefully) enjoy the multiplayer! -Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legatto Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 OMG it works I luv you! In a non-meaningful-non-threatening way, much like in the no jonny youre not getting my bud light commercials. Oh, for windows 98 se users, the file is in the c:/windows directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickeleye Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 I'm running 98 and I followed the directions, but why don't I have an "etc" folder inside my "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS" folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coronog Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Well, my Master Server won't come up anymore... The fix stopped fixing. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihilanth Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Figured i'd bump this, given the number of seperate threads i've seen asking about it. Havent tried it yet, but I found that playing the game through Gamespy works just fine, and is much more palletable than signing my soul over for a passport .net account.
