Help with RtCW
I've completed the Return to Castle Wolfenstein single player levels and want to play multiplayer. I boot multiplayer, enter source:internet, type: all, and the rest of the settings. The game then just perpetually flashes "waiting for response from master server." I assume that there are Mac RtCW servers out there. Can anyone help? Is is possible that my firewall app (Brickhouse) is blocking the proper port? Starfleet X are you out there?

Check port 29760 on your router/gateway/firewall. This is the port for RTCW (and Quake 3).
...just a thought.
Thanks. I turned off Brickhouse and suddenly I found 71 servers for RtCW. I'll try the port you identified. For future reference, how do I know which port an online game needs without it telling me?
Darn it! How do I paste a picture here? I used Grab to create a .tiff but can't figure how to insert it into my message!

p.s. we may not be seeing gobble gobble for a while, since that rtcw multiplayer is so damn addictive!!!
Have fun!!
