Also the server IP updated last month to 173.69.21.183. If you use our DNS server you'll have to change the IP to that.

In regards to the master list and all other servers we host, we are dealing with a hardware failure and the server is currently offline. Possible motherboard failure. Ironically this month we had planned to build a new server with upgraded components. So the plan is to just order the new parts and start from scratch rather than band-aid fix this server and waste more money.

I don't have an ETA on when the server will be back but we can hope much sooner than later. It's possible that we'll get the old server back online if it's something we can fix with spare parts. But either way we will keep everyone updated. I apologize for the inconvenience this will cause especially for the Q3 online play.

The Quake III master list has been changed to the OnlineConsoles one for DreamPi users while the DC-Talk one is down. If you're using another connection method you should see this master list if you're using 46.101.91.123 as your DNS.

Yesterday i was not able to join any server when the DNS was set to 46.101.91.123. whatever i use my BBA or the dreampi while everything was working fine 2 days ago.. Withthe BBA with this DNS set i am able to browse internet but with the dreampi it is showing "connected" but can't open any internet page.
I tried for all the games, the modem is well connecting, but then no server is reachable, i checked my router settings, reset it, also set it again to factory settings and reconfigured, same issue..
For the DC part, i have erased the modem settings, put them again, same issue. Rechecked the port forwarding etc.. in vain.

Another point a friend of mine is facing exactly the same issue since yesterday, while it was working before...

However i could connect to Pcwzrd13's Server for toy racer (198.133.10.182 / Port: 2048) but can't with the 46.101.91.123 server. Also i tried chtack server with DNS IP (70.82.122.4) and i could join the lobby (but was kicked because of invalid of invalid serial.. i guess it works well here) but can' join the lobby when the dctalk server is set as DNS.

While i first thought it may come from my ISP or my router, now i'm doubting that the server 46.101.91.123 is not blocking some MAC addresses ?
