Need tech help 2 PC's and get Awaiting connection Options

[William Wallace]

Sup.
My Son now has COD2, here is the prob I have my main PC plugged into my $400 netgear router (not the cheapo ones) I have a orinoco access point hanging off that giving my son wireless to his PC upstairs which works great

the problem is either one of us keeps getting Awaiting connection error just keeps counting if we both try to play at once. I am on Bell DSL as well.

We both played the MOB server and did so for 2 games then the next map load I got awaiting conn.
This is not just a MOB server specific issue it is any server.

Do I have to setup packet forwarding or something?

I beleive 440Cuda has 3 PC's running COD2 without any issues.

Can anyone please help?????

Thanks.

I think this is the answer you're looking for, although you may not like it.

You have to buy 2 COD2 games. The key code on one lets you play on one server. This means the server will only allow one of you on the server at one time. With two different key codes both of you can play on the same server at the same time.

If your son has a friend who does not play on the MOB server, maybe you could use his key code.

We purchased 2 COD2...and 2 of every game that we play together on-line. With 3 computers...you need 3 different key codes....it can get expensive.

This will hopefully solve your problem..I know that the COD2 has really dropped in price. You can also check on-line for a good price. I would not suggest getting a used one, as someone has probably activated the key code or passed it on, which could cause problems for you.

Hope this helps.
