    what exactly does it say when servers wont let you in, also you could try a program called all seeing eye, its basically a program that you can find servers with and then launch ns using it, you can grab it at <a href='http://www.udpsoft.com/eye/' target='_blank'>http://www.udpsoft.com/eye/</a>

    if that doesnt help, post the error message ur getting when trying to get on servers.

    "Could not connect to server, reason: could not complete connection attempt"
    also, there was another one about custom game?

    what he said /\

    the could not compleate conection attempt sounds like you are hitting network errors, possibly check with your ISP

    ummm, custom game not installed?

    make sure your path is right (sierra\half-life\NS)?

    and yah, try ussing an external server browser like Night said (All Seeing Eye is your god, worship as you should <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)

    hehe that would make sense since this post is in the New Player forums <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> yup and i totally agree with ASE (all-seeing eye) you should love it like ur hummer <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> (i wish i had a hummer...) also for that connection can not be complete sometimes it isn't always ur connection. i found in some causes that it is the server's conection problem (i saw a server with 1,000 ping... no joke)

    WHAT THE FUG!!!!

    ok a Hummer is a Humvee that is not millitary issue

    Those things at that websight just are not right (they look like big SUV's that just aint right)

    <a href='http://www.humvee.net/' target='_blank'>http://www.humvee.net/</a>

    there actual ones <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    BAHH

    back on topic

    Also the fact that you are not finding many servers is odd, again try ussing ASE and get back to us <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
