Can't connect to a server
I'm trying to connect to this Server a friend of mine made and when i try to connect its says: client_unknown_to_authorization
What does that mean? and how does he fix it?

Something messed up. You may have to re-enter a CD key or something. Or it may just clear up. I haven't got that in a long time, so I'm not that keen on the proper solution. Or someone else may be using your CD key, or it can't fig.... Eh, forget it. I'll be damned if I know.
Got any old idtech3 tutorials you made or saved? Send them my way.
I don't know, as this is a long shot (VERY long shot), but can you make ANY type of connection to him? If he is running a dedicated server, he must have cable/dsl, or something equivalent. This is the LONG (as in very far) shot part. Does he live right next to you? Cable companies usually cluster customers together in nodes. If you and your friend (assuming he lives next to you) are in the same node, then there is a good chance you cannot connect to him.
I had this same problem with my friend. We were on the same AT&T Broadband node, so we could not make any connection together. If I tried to ping him, it would always time out. The only way I could contact him was through a chat program like AIM, as messages are first routed through a central server. But even with AIM I could not send him files or make a Direct Connection, as that sends data DIRECTLY to him.
As I said, this is a very long shot. I doubt it has any relevance, though.

I-M nUbee when you get the "client_unknown_to_authorization" mesage try waiting for 30 seconds before you hit ESC.
I'll get that mesage sometimes to but by waiting I always get in.
