Ok, "no response from master server" is either related to the either not 
having an internet connection (or not having the game configured correctly 
for internet), or sometimes, the master server is just plain down. But it's 
been up and working fine lately.

If you are behind a router, quake 3 may not have permission from the router 
to access the internet. Make sure q3 has permission. Make sure also the 
correct port, 27960 has been forwarded to the router. You may want to open a 
range of ports like 27960 - 27920 or something as many servers use a similar 
but different port.

Under multiplayer/servers, make sure "internet" is selected. If none of 
these are an issue, then I won't be of much help.

Please report back with your router information and any other info.
