Hi DD,
I ran a qe2 (v.26c 04/26/2004) dedicated server for 6 hours last Friday
with no problems, other than an unrelated broadband issue (since fixed).
I'm running XP Home. Do you have the latest version of q2e?

Well, turns out it wasn't ANY kind of problem, except that FilePlanet
had files from way back in January! ha ha. Next time I check the dates
on all downloads from there!
I got the current vers now and WOW what a great mod!!! Its perty.

Thanks for the responces you two.
