Conversation Between speedyy7 and mikapicard

hi,
I'm a bit lost...I play ET very often, I'm 44 years old.
However, I keep connect randomly to any open map. Sometimes, I just can't get through.
Even with the /cl_punkbuster 1 or cl_allowdownload, whatever is FOB (?), NoQuarter or Jaymod...I think I missing things....
What do I have to do to enjoy WolfET without all this hassle?
Apply to a group, a clan..."Where to?"
Thanks in advance for any reply (even a condescendent one), I'm easy;-)
