can those ppl ping your machine to see if they even get a ping ?

 

awaiting connection is most likely due to the fact they got no response at all from the server so this is possibly a routing issue and not something with game server config.

echo ping requests was unticked on server , i have now ticked it to allow pinging to box , think that might of been the problem should i tick anything else ?? thanks so far !

[ricky]

Still getting player complain they cant connect to the servers ,awaiting conection till 40 then disconnecting, Any ideas anyone please ???

[revservers12]

Make sure the server is online.

See where this person lives might be to far from the server?

 

Those are the two things i can think of oh and your sure your ports are open ? (Might be a dumb question but you never know)

[dimitrifrom31]

check if the persons having this problem can ping the server.

 

If they cant evne ping it then you/they are having routing issues and you will more likely need to contact your datacenter giving them a trace route from the ppl having problems to connect.

Is this a mod server or standard cod4 server , I f its a mod and the clan have moded the maps , anyone that joins indeeds to have the same mod ! And the redirect needs to point them to that mod/ Or they get the mod from your download section.
