Please god is there some way to fix an empty server select screen

[douglas1999]

When I try to play p99 the server select screen comes up empty. I literally have to sit there and attempt to log in like 50 times and eventually, at random it works. I've read that this has something to do with wireless and\or a bad connection. I'm not using wireless and my connection is completely fine in every other way. I can download files at like 4mb per second but for some reason can't reliably get the damn server list to populate. Is this just totally unfixable?
