Twice in the last month, plus a bit I think.
That aside, in part at least, at my present likely temporary living place for the next few months, on setting up my computer, and attempting to join the QAW usual server, I'm kicked, and left looking at a ban notification for 93495430953 (whatever) seconds. Reason, previous ban. I'm assuming this is an IP thing. If I were to be banned for something silly, it would've been done already PS, I broke my thumb, I just wanted to watch. I can barely browse fb just now.

Probably an etkey thing. Head to www.etkey.org/It has the instructions, but basically you just click on the "get an etkey" and it'll give you a file to put it in your etmain folder, wherever you happen to have ET installed. Sorry about the thumb :-( Hope you can get back to playing soon! The new etkey should at least get you able to join again!

Had an etkey but trried your idea anyway. Still banned. I'll uninstall/reinstall, and see what happens.

Darn that usually fixes the problem every time this problem has come up. All I can say is you are certainly not banned and its not an IP thing ... maybe a reinstall will work, strange the fresh ET key didn't work, only other thing I can think is to make sure that fresh ET key is in whatever directory the site says to put it in. If none of that works we can consult the mighty google to find some alternative answer.

Could be an old subnet ban that affected the area in which you are now. I dont' know if QAW used to do this kind of bans in the past... but, if so... I dont know who could lift that kinda ban nowadays.

I tried what I could think of, and got no where. I can join other servers. Or one of the few I keep, that I had tried, that I keep the links to at any rate.
I've been busyish since though now, and haven't tried any further. Senor Hoff, I do appreciate even the tiniest feedback though :-)

Hey hey. So you did try a FRESH install? Registry shouldnt affect anything server-side, but maybe delete stuff (if you're comfortable with regedit) then start anew? You might need to change locations again 8-(

Could also maybe be punkbuster related? Might check to make sure punkbuster is properly installed and running .

You may try going to the Enemy Territory install folder > PB folder, and from there you can run pbsvc to install/re-install/check to make sure its running.
