For the past couple weeks I have not been able to connect to QAW servers. I can connect to just about every other server in the server list (full of bots!?!) but I cannot connect to '+connect 74.208.166.135'. It just hangs on the "Awaiting Gamestate screen". When I bring down the prompt it says: Failed to resolve etguidauth.evenbalance.com Connected to server 74.208.166.135 Failed to resolve etguidauth.evenbalance.com Failed to resolve etguidauth.evenbalance.com PunkBstrA successfully loaded PunkBstrB
I've installed both ET Ultimate installer (with my old etkey) and WolfET_2_60b_custom.exe from etkey.com...all have the same problem.
Please help!

Been seeing that a lot lately .Even happened to Aelf friday night . She could connect to customs with no problems but originals was the same as you . As for an answer , i haven't found one yet . Maybe just try /connect 74.208.166.135 in console instead of the +connect . It's worked for me . So far . Just looked at the etkey.org site and they are telling people to put it in User->AppData->Local->Punkbuster->ET->etmain (vista and win7) .That is not where my et key is . Just go to program files (x86) if using a 64 bit os , look for wolf et folder - open it , then open etmain and drop your etkey in there . Here is what mine looks like . I run et then switch to pub mod . I realize i am not connected to server , but i always let all the pb crap load in first before connecting .Then i type in /connect .Had a similar problem in the past and that was the cause . Not letting all the pb A&B load in successfully before connecting to a server . Or maybe it is just here and all this is a waste of time . [i ][/i] Don't know if it will help and i'm sure other people do it your way but this works for me .

Although I CAN connect, it sometimes takes me forever to join.......no solution for me, just wait and sitting it out.
I just play on 2 servers, but only QAW original takes forever at times.

Obviously all your pb stuff is up and running . K if you look at my screenshot you will see it says : Master Query sent to(ID2.evenbalance.com) 192.246.40.80 Yours does not have that .In fact on the bottom it says : No Master Query sent - DNS has not yet resolved for ID2.evenbalance.com . That looks like your problem .Gonna give you a link to my pb folder .Doing a little research i may have come up with a solution . Somewhere in your pb folder is an outdated file .If the client and server do not match you get the failed to resolve etguidauth.evenbalance.com message . Give it a try and see if it helps . Can't hurt right Take your original pb folder out and keep it safe some where dl mine(i zipped it up , only way i could upload it so you will have to unzip it open it up and take the one inside out ) and put it in the et folder and see if you can connect . Hope it works for ya . www.mediafire.com/?1pnuxzrhn1nbu1i

That pb folder worked! I no longer get that error message...but I see I still have one other problem and that is when switching to the next map I get Connection Interrupted...every time. I guess I can disconnect and reconnect...what a pain.
Thanks for the pb folder! GS what other server do you play on?

No problems . Glad it worked for ya Sherwin . Your connection interrupted prob , no idea . You on wired or wireless connection ?(router) I get crashes sometimes on fuel dump , if i'm facing it on west side , when it blows , but haven't had that one . I'm on wired gigabit router . Master Zohar would be your best bet for that one . As for other servers , just this one ;D .

I am now getting this problem. Just started today. Couldn't connect and then when I did, the next map, BAM, stuck.
This is coming after a couple of nights ago, I was getting "stuck" in this kind of "limbo" place between maps. People said that I was still on the server but with a "zero ping". However, I could force a /reconnect and i was all better. This problem is a little different.
Is this a server side issue? Or is this an aging ET-no-longer-supported-by-Even-Balance issue? Or is this a client-side issue (reinstall PB?)? Or does the problem exist between keyboard and chair?
Thanks.
- Aks.

Getting "Unwanted challenge response received. Ignored." while trying to connect.
Thoughts?

Haven't tried since I last posted, but when I was having the trouble, I could get to Customs with no problems...actually, believe it or not, when I went to Customs first and then from there, did a /connect to the QAW original maps server IP address, I was able to get in. Very odd. I hope this isn't a long term problem.

The problems seem to have disappeared for me as well...I've been playing consistently now with no issues. I can connect within the first few seconds of the Awaiting Connection screen and between maps loads fine now as well. Someone archive that pb folder for safe keeping somewhere!

I can't connect to customs... it loads but then it stops, and when I open console and close it, it flashes back and forth. Not sure why I can't get there.
