It means he's running a different version.

Wrong
When this happens you get a protocol message.


Often in this case the problem is, that your server is not able to
resolve the ip-address of authorize.quake3arena.com. Workaround: extend
the line
127.0.0.1 localhost
in your /etc/hosts with the entry "authorize.quake3arena.com", so that
the IP resolves to localhost.

Err, you're right, sorry. I didn't read very closely, I'm afraid.

Do you have a router? If so, make sure you have a port or 2 forwarded! 27960
is default for quake.

Yup, a router. A linksys. I get a lot of clients connecting with no
problems. It's just this one guy who used to connect anytime he wanted moved
to the bay area and now gets that message. I was thinking maybe something
clientside. If anyone wants to give it a shot the address is
66.93.40.117:27964. if that's off then port 27965 is on.
Name is Hillsboro Instaunlagged.

I got the client unknown message, but 2 seconds later, I got right in. I see
the client_unknown message every once in a while, but it never keeps me from
joining.

As I recall it's a Linux issue, or at least an issue with running a server on Linux.

this has been an issue for quite some time. have him type /reconnect a few
time sin the console when he gets that message, and if it doesn't allow him
to get in after a few trys then have him up his /rate real high while hes
getting the message, and see if that helps.

If i'm not mistaken, by toying with your rate while getting that message it
would end up letting you get in, i just can't remember exactly if it was
rate or another network cmd. but i'm pretty sure its /rate
