You can't load any maps or you can't connect to any servers?

I think he means he can't get any maps because he can't see the server list.

If you want maps use this link: http://dpball.com/files/maps/

All of the main maps are there.

"go into any maps" meaning not being able to connect, I'm assuming.

First of all you should post this in the help and support section. Secondly Do you have any firewall, try disabling it. If your router had built in firewall disable it and if you are using build 17 uninstall it.

i cant play paintball anyways because of another error lol.

There is a good chance that we can help. What was the error, and when did it happen.

I have the same problem, every time I'm trying to connect, I get a message which reads ERROR: WSAEACCES NETSendPacket and then some numbers which change every time. Then the game crashes.

WSAEACCES
10013   
Permission denied.
An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. An example is using a broadcast address for sendto without broadcast permission being set using setsockopt(SO_BROADCAST).

Another possible reason for the WSAEACCES error is that when the bind function is called (on Windows NT 4 SP4 or later), another application, service, or kernel mode driver is bound to the same address with exclusive access. Such exclusive access is a new feature of Windows NT 4 SP4 and later, and is implemented by using the SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE option.
