Okay so, I get home from school throw my homework down like a normal teenager. Then I try to play ET by going into the actual game (on desktop). I then click play online and it automatically joins me into some random server and asks me if I want to "redirect"? I don't know the actual server IP it wants me to redirect to but, if you really want me too I will look. So basically I'm seeing if anyone knows how to fix it or what is going on. - smqp_little W

Just gave what you did a shot and the redirect came up for me as well . IP for the redirect is 92.211.156.14 (comes up as being in Germany ) .I would advise against redirecting .It may be harmless , but it may not .
Just do /connect 74.208.166.135 , takes you right to QAW originals , instead of clicking play online .

You unknowingly downloaded some .pk3 files from another server you played on and now their trying to force you to connect to their servers. I've had this happen before after my grandkids used my computers to play ET and went to some odd-ball ET servers. to get rid of it, you'll have to go into your etmain and etpub folders and sort by date, then find the newest .pk3 files (from the date before you saw the change) and either delete them or move them to another folder temporarily, then try restarting the game. It's really and trial and error proposition.

Well what my dad did (Big W) was he just uninstalled ET then reinstalled it and that took care of the problem. But thank you anyways I'm sure we will use that in the future.

Hmmmmm... i just disconnected from the game to answer phone and when I went to reconnect (same way I always have for years), it tried to redirect me to same IP of 95.211.156.14.
Guess for now I'll just connect through the console as well.
Yeah, also ran a tracert on the IP... looks like server is in Amsterdam.

Yeah that seems to have been the issue but with a different IP. Works fine if you just go to the website and hit connect there. Or going into the console and doing /connect.
