Summary: can't connect using list server w/linux

Initial Comment:
OS is Red Hat 7 on a 200mhz pentium. Graphics device is
a nvidia geforce 2mx with nvidia drivers 0.9-769. Game
version is e2.

For about the last month I haven't been able to connect
using the list server.  All I get is a "can't open
list" error. If I point the list server to
"bzflist://209.140.76.229/" I can open the list but I
can't connect. I then get a "get host address timeout"
error. any second attempt to connect will lock up the
game.
I can connect to a game by entering the ip number
directly (ie 209.140.76.229) then I can play on that
one server. if I type in the server name (ie
Rikers.org) I get a "get host address timeout" error,
or the game will lock up and I have to kill the
Xserver.
This occours on versions e1, e2 and the unofficial fx3,
but abuot a month ago I had no problem connecting with
these versions.

With version d-9 I can't find the server list, but if I
enter a server name (not the ip number) the game can
connect,
It appears that the newer list servers only work once
during a game session. I don't have any of these
problems with my windows computer.

try removing your "/home/user/.bzflag" file, so that the
default settings are generated. this will take care of that
problem.

Your ~/.bzflag shoulc contain:

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

if it still contains the old bigfoot URL that 1.7d used,
that URL is now dead. Running:

bzflag -list default

should get you to the new URL.
