A word about servers ? ? ?WHOLE THING NEEDS WORK

There are two kinds of servers in Quake II: �Dedicated and non-dedicated. �A dedicated server means that the machine being used is not running the graphical part of Quake, but instead, it is running with just a text console on the screen. �This type of server provides far gameplay for all the players involved. �When running a dedicated server, Quake doesn't have a person playing in the game on the computer running the server.
A non-dedicated server, on the other hand, is running a Quake game and allows a person to play in the game on the computer. �The only problem is the person playing will allows be the first one in the level and have no lag (delay in game due to connection speed). �This will give that player a big advantage in the game.

?????????????Modem Play

The host will select these options from the main menu:
FINISH THIS LATER, OK??? INclude the modem strings, autoanswer on/off, error correction off

If you are unable to connect to the host check the following things:

• Did your modem dial? -- Make sure the phone line is plugged in all the way
• Did your modem not respond? -- Make sure another program isn't using the modem (like fax software or a connection to the Internet)
• Did you hear the two modems connect? -- If so, the modems may not be compatiable or a bad phone line connection is being made. �Also make sure you have at least version 1.06 and are running any patches or modifications that the host is running
• Modem dials, other end picks up, but you don't here the host's modem -- Give the host some more time to get the game running. �Also make sure the host turned on autoanswer on their modem

????????????????Direct Link Play

?IPX Network

For the client, when you are at the game chooser screen if you see a duplicate of a game that just has a number behind it's name it is probably the same game but a difference in versions caused it to read funny. �Just select the one at the top of the list as it will work better. �If you are behind a LAN at your work it can be common for them to not allow you to play games like Quake over the network. �If the option to select IPX Network is not selectable you need to install the IPX Network protocal on your machine.

??TCP/IP

I do not recommend connecting to a server or playing with someone else unless their ping (response time) is less then 400ms. �Anything greater just makes for sorry gaming. �Also remember, if you are not connecting to a dedicated server then the player who is serving will have a advantage. �If you often see a little graphic pop up on your screen that has a phone line disconnected from a phone jack that means that the connection has gotten really bad and is waiting for the server to respond. �I would try a different server or try exiting Quake and then reentering the game.
