The problem is with connecting to multiplayer in quake. It works find when the line is typed in dos, you can connect, but when I use system(), spawn*(), or exec*() it connects than your dropped. So I'm thinking there might be some eviroment varibales, or something??? If anyone can give me anything it would be VERY much appriciated.
