ok, i got it running... i think. |

the trick was completely disabling the windows firewall for this game only. even though you set it to allow CoD4, it won't work.
maps load in like... 2 seconds instead of a minute, and avg ping went from 95+ to like... 35 on our server.
duh.
actually took the time to make 2 custom characters. an lmg with juggernaut and deep impact, and an assault with increased stopping power and martyrdom. cant wait to try em out.

So odd. I never adjust my Windows Firewall for any of my games and never have an issue.
Glad you got it working though bud!

no router.
i did a bunch of reading and it seems like the Windows Firewall + normal PC user = solitary confinement in Riker's Island for a parking ticket.
some sites recommend just turning off the whole thing.

Are your problems due to Vista? 
Or do you have bad PC luck? 
I run XP Pro 64 bit and thought about getting Vista 64 bit.
Instead I chose to stay with XP for a while just to make sure bugs are gone before I try Vista.
Not saying that's your issue, but I was wondering.

Vista x64 is the best OS I've ever ran.
It surprises me to say that too as I DEFINITELY wasn't a big advocate of Vista initially. ROCK solid so far.

i disabled the firewall for CoD4, and left the rest running.
what planet is the server on? I'm still pinging 110 or so at 20 MB.

Trouble is internet download speed does not normally affect the ping.I pinged the same when I had my 512 connection to getting my up to 8mb recently.

It does if it has its own firewall and you are also running a scondary such as norton etc.A lot of people myself included do not realise that routers have their own firewalls for blocking intrusions.
