Call Of Duty Multiplayer (Firewall Info Inside)

[HarlemNightz27]

Why is it everytime that I try to join a game online it takes Forever to try and connect and just never happens? I have broadband so i mean that should easily get on. whats going on? Then while its trying to connect it says waiting for cd key authorization. Is there any way that I can instantly connect without waiting very long and failing at it during the process? I want to play online so bad...........

Do you use your original cds and exe, or do you use a crack?
Which crack do you use?

Most of the time, cracks don't work for online-gaming!

u dont need a crack for the MP aspect of CoD

for not connecting to the server - u sure its not your firewall(if u're running one) - thats what it sounds like to me!!

I looked in my Network Connections to find that my firewall hasnt been turned on. So what else can be the problem and how can i fix that?

I may as well see if I can help with this problem as well, seeing as Im answering your Doom3 questions in the other thread!
Do you only use the Windows Firewall!? If so not a good idea!
