Currently, http://my.bzflag.org/serverlist.php returns a list of servers. Is that the same interface the bzflag client uses? I'm not at home right now, so I can't check what my mine says.

YES! Thanks, RPG! After fiddling around with numerous and unecessary router, modem, and windows xp settings, I finally asked the helpful gurus in #bzflag for help. (brown.freenode.net:6667). It took about 3 minutes until the problem was solved! Thanks and mighty props to those from #bzflag channel: ...

I lived in Rockport, TX for a while.
It's a neat little coastal town, so I wanted to honor it.
Roxport = Rock[and Roll] + Sport (two cool words)
