This isn't too much of a problem but can be an extreme annoyance. When I run Q2, it opens up nice, and everything runs smoothly. the problem occurs when I tell Q2 to go into multiplayer. I tell Q2 to search for servers, then a big fat error comes up "Error: Net_GetPacket: WSAECONNRESET from (the server i try to connect to) i don't understand why this happens...i get ask Q2 to look for servers again... and it will do the same thing... but when i ask it to search for the third time, it works fine... what's wrong?
