Renlist doesnt open renegade

[TornX]

Hi guys, its been a few months since I last played renegade online, and usually have had no issues, however after reinstalling and re updating the game, downloading renlist, and running it, I seem to have hit an odd snag, it loads the server lists just fine, however, when I click the connect button on a server, or double click a server (iv tried both) the connect button just goes grey and renegade does not launch, iv checked the target directory, and its accurate (C:\Westwood\Renegade\Renegade.exe). the game runs fine solo, I have both disks set as disk images forever mounted, even tho I don't need them to play. iv tried uninstalling, reinstalling, compatibility modes, administrator, allowed through firewall, disabled anti virus, and I still seem to be having issues getting the game to load! I noticed that if I click connect, and then launch the game it does the normal connecting to server screen, but then it just says failed to connect to host, and kicks me out. any ideas?
