       I CANNOT ACCESS THE SERVER LIST WITH BZFlag because it is unaccessable. I tried it in the browser as HTTP:/BZFlag.Sourceforge.net/list-server.txt and
    HTTP://www.BZFlag.Sourceforge.net/list-server.txt
    neither is accessable.

      Works fine for me both from within the game or when using a webbrowser. I have no idea why you are experiencing problems.

      You can try and start bzflag with

      -list bzflist://166.70.15.250/

      becuase that is what the above URL contains. The address of the lsit server might change though. You can revert to using the additional http indirection by using bzflag -list default later.

      P.S.
      ----
      Please do not use ALL CAPS.

                 can you post the full url including the bzflist://166.70.15.250 and tell me how to place it in the BZFlag such that it will automatically load and search for a server?
                     If you can I would appreciate it.

          The correct url is:

          http://BZFlag.SourceForge.net/list-server.txt

          which you can get by doing a:

          "bzflag -list default"

          If you cannot get to that server, you can also try:

          "bzflag -list bzflist://166.70.15.250/"

          which will work as long and the list server does not move.

          If you that does not work try this in a browser:

          http://166.70.15.250:5156/

          if that does not work, then you are behind a firewall or something that will not let your machine get to the list server.

              did you try the first 3? the last one was just to insure it was not a firewall issue.

                    Yes I did try the other ones I'm Glad to know that it is not a firewall issue though we would really like to play the game and I know I would never be able to get through a firewall issue.

      the first url gives me Bzflist://166.70.16.250 with a white background.
      the second gives me an error message that says could not locate remote server.
