Can´t find any Server

Hello.

I will try to explain my problem to you, but my english is not so well. Hope u can understand me.

I bought the game Modern Warfare 3 for my PC. I installed and started it. After that i just did the normal steps to play:

Play--> there are 3 options to choose (easy, hard, community list(Don´t really know how it is called in english i only have the german version))--->Teamdeathmatch, search and destroy,.... (Game Mode) . Than it starts to search for games, but it doesnt find none. After that i made a private Game with a friend of mine, and that worked!! So I know that my PC is not to bad for that game. We also tried to make a party and than try to join a server, but that also don´t work. there is errror message: Connection failed. Than i started to search on Youtube and Google but i really didn´t find a working sollution. So my question is what i can do to find offical games??? I start to get so disappointed. I would be so grateful if u can help me....

PS: My details

NAT Typ in Game: Medium

PC: Samsung R780

Internet:D-Lan (Lan via electrical outlet) DSL 6000

Router: Linksys

(I have the rights to change things in my router, like the Ports)

Re: Can´t find any Server

Hello PleaseSmile,

I am sorry to hear you are having this problem. When this sort of error occurs, it can either be a result of files on the system, or networking.

I recommend that you;
Go to C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3\Players2, and delete your mp.cfg file.

Once this is done,
Launch the Steam application, and select Library.
Right click on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer, and select Properties > Local Files tab > Verify the Integrity of the Game Cache.

This will generate a new config file and will immediately tell you if this is a file problem.

If you continue to have problems beyond this, then the issue will be a networking problem. If that is the case, please provide us the model number of your Linksys router so we can help you get this solved.

  Can you please confirm the model number of your router? For Linksys, the closest I can find to WAG454G is WAG54G.

      Re: Can´t find any Server
      
      No worries! Here are the steps to try and get this resolved.
      
      First you'll want to make sure you have a static IP for your PC (http://portforward.com/networking/static-win7.htm)
      
      Once you have a static IP for your PC, you'll want to forward the ports for the game to be able to communicate properly with our servers.

        Repeat the steps for deleting and then verifying the Integrity of the Game Cache. You previous network settings are still saved in that file.
