I'm now running WinXP Pro and am able to run single-player Quake using
WinQuake.  I use GameSpy to connect to other servers for TeamFortress play.
My initial efforts to try to play Quake on the internet haven't been
successful.

I have QuakeWorld installed and GameSpy executes qwcl.exe to start Quake.
Is it possible to run Quake on the Internet with WinXP Pro?  Anything else
that I need to do?

Thanks for any replies!

if quake runs you should be able to play quake on the internet
with qw you can only connect to qw servers

if you have a 3dcard that supports opengl you can use glquake
and glquakeworld (glqwcl.exe)

Nope, my video card doesn't qualify for GLQuake.  I'll bang away at
qwcl.exe.

Got it working with qwcl.exe, once I configured Quake with WinQuake offline.
Thanks.
