Any idea what is causing me to get this message (and no population of the server list) when I try to look up online matches? It works fine on my laptop, but on my desktop I get that mesage.... is there some port I need to enable or something?

did you add cod4 to your exceptions list in windows firewall? It sounds like a firewall problem.

Guess the master server was down. Ihad to connect through direct IPs. I hear it's back up now, though.

First u go download Utorrent

then u go to the Speed Guide

then u press in 28960 - Test if this port is forwarded

when this is done u should be able to see the list..

Feel free to say thanks if it works since the last guy just closed the Topic when he got the answer without hearing a word from him

unfortunately that didn't work for me. for my port i have a different number and can't change it. i went through with the test and it says everything is successful. i try to load up my server list and still have the same problem as others described as well. any other takers? my game was working perfectly, then i disconnected from a server, went to refresh the list for a new one, and dont get the list coming up. at least i'm not the only one i guess.

I had this problem a few times which kept coming and going. Then it came and wouldn't go away. Try going back to the firewall issue, but bear in mind it might not be WINDOWS firewall. I have Bt Netprotect Plus which is part of McAfee and installed itself, but NortonAntiVirus and other such programs will probably all have Firewalls. Check which of these programs are turned on, and make sure that Cod 4 (specifically Cod 4 - Iwmp/3 for me) is not blocked, and try adding it to the exceptions list. Best of luck to all.

Probably the first or second thing that pops in when people do a google search sadly no fix besides relying on a 3rd party server browser.

Umm why? No matter how old the thread is, this is still relevant. I had to download someone's servercache.dat file to get the server list working, and it still screws up EVERY TIME I play the Star Wars mod.
