2.3/ 2.4 sounds like quakeworld server
normally qw will try and download missing maps etc if the admin allows it
i don't know why you can connect to one  and not the other
there is little differance between 2.4 and 2.3

perhaps it's your game directory name that's causing the problem
one server you may have arena in the game directory it's expecting the other
it's not, bit of a long shot.
ciuld also be that version arena is different to the one the server is using

have a look at the servers with gamespy. have a look at the game dir the servers
are using and also the server infomation. that ususal tells you were to get the
mod/maps the server requires and ususally has contact email addresses
