<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have the same problem. After doing a little
investigating, it seems that when an RtR map is loaded, BF1942 makes two calls
to verify 2 CD keys. I am assuming it is checking they key for both versions of
BF1942. It looks like the first call suceeds (standard BF1942), but when it
tries to verify the key for product code 713 (I assume this product code refers
to the RtR CD key) that it hangs the client indefinitely waiting for a return of
success or failure which it never seems to get. The only way I found to regain
control of he client is to CTRL-ALT-DEL and end-task BF1942. You can also rename
the GameSpyHost_Debug.so -> GameSpyHost.so (I think the debug version came
with 1.2) which will allow the client to recover a little more gracefully (they
will timeout with a failure to connect message) and all the relevant information
about CD keys and checks will be displayed in the server console. </FONT></DIV>

</DIV><PRE>I have the exact very same thing...
Even if I start the game in rtr mode, but running normal bf maps, everything
is fine, but rtr+rtr maps=unable to connect to it.
Which distro do you have?
I have Debian.
