game server running but can't connect

[Dan321]

Hi,

 

As the title says, I can't connect. Now I have checked the task manager and iw3mp.exe (cod4) keeps disappearing in task manager processes, then reppearing (like its closing and reopening the process).

 

Any ideas?

 

More info: The master server creates cod 4 servers fine, it's just the remote server which doesn't - the remote server is in the US and master in the UK.

 

I have tried recreating the game server twice now to no avail.

 

Please advise, thanks.
