You're probably trying to connect to "pure" servers - these are
servers where you can only play, if you don't have any PK3's the
server doesn't. Move any add-ons - maps, skins, etc - out of your
baseq3 directory, just leave the pakX pk3's, and try it again. Also
turn off autodownloading in your options, you might be getting files
downloaded to you from one server, that another hasn't got.
