double and triple check disablehtmlmotd.

open internet explorer and go to a webpage so it connects to the internet
(this actually has a good chance of working because TF2 uses IE to look at pages like this, and it can be blocked/non-functional if you haven't used it ever/in a long time)

make sure u don't have a security script/file which blocks it
EXAMPLE: "Create an empty file in your tf directory named textwindow_temp.html and make it read-only (this prevents the motd from being saved & loaded)"

if none of that works it could be something else related to firewall or your browser settings (most likely Internet Explorer) like maybe cookies

edit: DO NOT create a textwindow lmao. that was an example of how your motd could be blocked!!

I just meant the box thing where you can patch into all the cat3/5 in your house, you could run the cable to that and then you can put internet through any phone jack in your house. thats how mine is setup. its not actually called a splitter but I have no idea what to call it

only way is by using fatal1ty motherboard.

yea id just run some cable (or if you have phone jack in your room you can put it through that, but you would still have to get to the splitter thingy.. idk what its called)

gawhat

but anyways if u can ethernet cable is better than powerline

my computer is basically in a closet =)

the base is kind of annoying. what phunk said works on g-tf. moisten + pressure.
mine sticks well enough dry by applying pressure for like 3 seconds, but its cause I have a metal desk I think.
with moisture it becomes one with my desk.

u just figured out the secret to youtube

you can't mod an fk1 like that.
you can always buy replacement feet (goes for fk14 too) but thicker than stock ones are not an option on the fk1 cause it won't track anything.

well its either your router, modem, or ISP.

so what you do is
1. unplug router, and test internet with direct ethernet cable. I hope you're not on wireless (if it doesn't fix it go step 2)
2. get a new modem, usually this means calling your isp and get them to replace it.. (if it doesn't work step 3 etc)
3. get a new isp (I would put my money on this one)

its +jump, since you have a crouchjump bind then u cant do it

since its the fk14 id recommend doing lens mod and adding thick mouse feet (like puretrak HD intellimouse feet). its a real fix.

its opening the mouse, taking out the lens, prying off the custom piece and putting the lens back.
2nd post in that thread - http://www.overclock.net/t/1351759/zowie-fk/220

the fk1 is the worst mouse for this, because the clearance between the mousefeet and the bottom of the mouse is almost nothing. and you can't put thicker mousefeet on because of the extremely low lod. (if you have an original FK you can lens mod and put thick mousefeet on)

the qck does have high friction and can wear out and develop sticky spots so potentially get a lower friction pad (make sure its black/dark for fk1 or the lod will be even less)

paddie and I just trade class if were not feeling it, but im scout

I had 125hz on my ie 3.0 cause esea client so that sucked, cant fix it till next week.

wmo 1.1a - $10 to $25
zalman clip-on $10
qck heavy - $20 to $25

membrane keyboard - free to $10
earbuds - free to $10
crt monitor - free + gas

the cheapest mech keyboard is probably going to run you at least $60.
gaming keyboards with membrane are a total waste of money. an office keyboard is the same performance and it's way cooler when you wreck people on a $10 microsoft keyboard, a wmo, a monitor from the 90s, and some earbuds from ur ipod/phone than some tryhard shitty gamer gear.

its actually a top tier setup
