I'm having problems connecting to servers other than 00 01 02 03 and 04 , when i try to connect to any other server it just says "contacting server" and i have tried disabling my router firewall and it still does it. any suggestions on how to fix it?

Are you sure the server you're trying to connect to is actually running?

Try entering the server name exact!! go find the right name. put it on a sticky note, place it on your computer screen and follow the instructions. you got to be doing something wrong. or you just don't have the track? you have to read the error that comes up on the left of your screen.

but thats the problem theres no error that pops up it just says "contacting server" if i didnt have server address right it would say "can't resolve address" and the server im trying to connect is the one that only plays red bud.Is it up or am i wasting my time on a down server?

Which server are you trying to connect to?

I just tried it and the server is up. It might be worth asking Joe if he can see your connection attempt in the server's log. That way you'd at least know if the packets were getting blocked inbound or outbound.
