server list blacked out

[kelsey grammer]

I've had the problem of logging onto the server list and only seeing a blacked out list from day one. For along while i tried logging in and out until i could see the list. After numerous calls to my internet provider, who say nothing is wrong, i found out a little trick to get it working. Make a dial-up account and run it along with your dsl account...for some reason my dsl connection would not recieve the info back from the login server...but it will with the dial-up. Once you log into the game you can disconnect the dial-up connection and play without the lag from the dial-up. Its worked for me everytime. I hope this helps.
