Missing server

[MrTinkertrain]

Hi guys, I know it's early days so forgive the enthusiasm LoL! Was very impressed with the speed my server was setup, only problem is i can't find it in the game server list I notice a couple of other guys saying that they have a problem which is being sorted so hope this is generic but just in case the IP I am looking for is:

89.145.98.181:28960

Cheers chaps!

Glad to hear your pleased with your product. Are you still having trouble locating the server? If you are, the most common issue is the regional filter. Make sure your regional filter is set to the location where your server is located. If this doesn't help, open a support ticket and we'll get you fixed up!

I had the same issue right now and the reason might be in the port.

The problem lies soley with Activision, they hold the keys to the Master Server List and the faulty TCP/IP stacker.

Lets run some rough munbers ok?

20,000 COD4 servers all sending a packet to the Master Server
((by the way, the Master server is 1 (one) server with 1 (one) IP))

20,000 pings to a single server all being sent by the same PORT - 28960

WOW, that is a HUGE hit to a single server.

The Master Server stays open for a period of time while recieving all these packets/pings then closes and sends out the heartbeat or pulse for you to recieve a list of servers from your Ingame Browser.

Bored yet? *LMAO* Basically, try a different port # -- something off the wall like 28901 or something -- that should ensure that your server communicates with the Master Server using a very low traffic port

All tests over the last few months by changing the Port number have been positive

So basically turn your server off for 1 hour. Turn it back on, and it should be working. If that doesn't work, then make a support ticket and ask your port to be changed to 28930.

As recently stated, opening a support ticket to request a port change is the next step to resolution.
