Old>> https://www.xtremeidiots.com/topic/61458-i-cant-join-the-146b9-ftag-server/?p=674654 I've been still having trouble connecting to this server (which is why I hardly ever get to play on our server) Every once in a while I can but more often then not it won't show up. I tried last night to no avail so I was messing around with some settings and all it accomplished was delete my stats LOL Well I said screw it and backed up what I could and I reistalled cod4 and without installing any mods or my user profile I added the server in manually to my favorites and I still will not work. All greyed out.... I just moved my saved maps, mods and profile over and thought I'd try again so I first searched via the cod4 game and added all the servers that I could find, the 146b9 was not in there so i added it manually again and with the attached picture you can see what is going on for me. The game I uninstalled was a Steam game and I just let Steam download and install it again so I'm just stumped as to what could be causing this. Any Ideas as to what I could try?

Just join the server manually, my favourites stopped working years ago lol, I do this with every server. Just bring up console and enter : connect 162.248.95.178:28960 , that is the ip for the main mw2 server. You can do this for any server, all of the ips are on gametracker.

Oh sorry about that lol!! It is confusing I see:} I'll reinstalled everything but I did just move over the mod files so i will try that. Router has been rebooted. I can connect to absolutely every other server so I wouldn't think that the firewall or antivirus would be causing it. Just so weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never ran it as administrator before and it always worked fine until june or so and then every so often it wouldn't show up but like the last 2 weeks it has never shown up for me. I'm running windows 7. I can connect to every other server without a problem. It's just the main cod4 mw2 server.

A few things come to mind: - All the patch updates installed v1.7 is the last one - Firewall blocking the ports, make sure uPnP is enabled on your router, better yet enable DMZ to your machine for testing alone - Make sure Windows firewall is not blocking the game app iw3mp.exe - counting till timeout reflects you're unable to reach the server, and effectively open a connection socket - Run a ping to the server IP address, if that works, which I think it should - try connecting manually, I know you've tried this but I am asking assuming you have verified all of the above On another note, do you have the Steam Game or retail version?

Hey boomboom! I've got all the patches installed and I can connect to all our other COD4 servers. The firewall is set to allow access to COD4, uPnP is enabled. I found the DMZ but I am not familiar with what I should do when I enable it. I am hardwired directly to my router if that makes a difference. Would I run the ping test through the COD4 console or something else? I can see the server and the details of the server in question through hlsw just fine. This is a steam copy. My original hard copy decided not to work anymore so I figured the steam version was just fine to use. Do you think that could be it? My pc is pretty ancient but I wouldn't think that there would be any problems because of that. Thanks man!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I can see you tried uninstalling and doing it the regular way, but maybe try that? Also, bring up console and type in /cl_connectionattempts 30, this will give the game a bit longer to try and connect, you can change this back to 10 if this has no effect.
