This is because the server you are joining is using a registered version
map (e2m1 = Episode 2, Map 1). You can only player episode 1 maps with
the shareware version (you also can't use custom maps and graphics).
Lots of servers just run shareware maps anyway, so it shouldn't stop
you playing very much.
The next time someone tells you what great programmers id software has,
remember that they couldn't be bothered writing a better error message
than this. I can't begin to imagine how many shareware players decided
that it was buggy software because half the servers they joined gave
them this ridiculous error message. I've run a quake servers list for
over a year, and it's *still* the number one question I get.
