Bad version error

Noticed on a couple of servers when I try to connect I get a 'bad
version,server rejected connection' error.
What causes this?, as they state version 1.96 required (which I have).

Do you have the beta ? Could it be they only allow real 1.96 (the 'final')
computers to connect?

Think with the new install I did, I used the final one although I thought
the files were supposed to be the same anyway, you could be right though.

This means the server is running in "equal mods required" mode and it
will reject you if your mods differ. Eg the server is running with
-mod=finmod and equalmodrequired means only players running ofp with
-mod=finmod can connect. If you use -mod=finmod;hisky you can't
connect, if you have no mods you can't connect either.
