Starting with a fresh install of FreeHL (4-18-2023) with assets pulled from retail disc, and FreeCS (4-18-2023) with assets downloaded using the install_from_archiveorg.sh script.

Both of these are linux machines, one is Linux Mint 21.1 and the other is Pop_OS!, so they are relatively close Ubuntu-based distros.

I go to Play on LAN -> start a server on one machine, and also go to Play on LAN and choose 'Refresh' to which the prompt :

'"Refreshing LAN server list..."
Listing 0 applicable servers'

...appears but sits endless printing "Added 0 LAN servers (of 0)." to the console.

However, the server is there and can be joined through the console no problem with "connect ".

Is this a problem with FTEQW perhaps? I'm looking around the Innernette for problems relating to it, but so far have not gleaned much.

Yeah, this is a bug within FTEQW. Until recently it was making some pretty bad assumptions also (where it restricted LAN servers to only show up when the game's com_protocolname was 'Quake'). This will be resolved within FTEQW.
