key not reaching guidauth server

I'm getting awful lot of these after upgrading to latest patch. Deleting
etkey file works, but I get assigned new GUID which screws up XPsave, plus
some server admins won't allow brand new player GUIDs on their servers. Any
ideas how to get rid of this stupid error?

punkbuster utility, and run that before going into games. seems to

Hi,
this is what it says on the punkbuster website:
"(AUTHDOWN) means that the PB Guid Auth server is working, but that id's
cdkey auth server is down - please notify us of this condition via email
to support@evenbalance.com"
(in the Quake 3 section)
