Left click on "View" --> select "Settings" --> "Games" --> "Installed" --> select Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
[but don't configure the exe/directory locations yet] Click Apply, then OK.

3- In the games&folders pane, right click Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Select "new" -> "folder" and name it "COD4 Cracked Servers".
Right click your newly created folder -> select 'properties'.
Click the browse button for "Application used to play game" and browse to and open "iw3mp.exe"

COD4: Modern Warfare Server Setup Guide :

Installation:
1- Download and install COD4: Modern Warefare.
2- Download Private server patch.  Backup iw3mp.exe and replace with server patch.

Configuration:
3- Download the attachment and extract all cfg files into COD4\main folder.
4- Open server.cfg with notepad. Edit to your liking and save.
NOTE: If you change too much, your server will NOT be ranked.

Starting Server:
5- The last step for getting your COD4 Dedicated server up is to start it, by the command line, a batch file
or making a shortcut to the iw3mp.exe in your COD4 directory.
Create a Shortcut to iw3mp.exe with these parameters:
+set dedicated 2 +set net_ip youripaddress +set net_port 28960 +exec server.cfg +map mp_crash

Common Problems & Solutions - Client Side - Punkbuster Problems:

In COD4 I get a message *Warning* Server IP was banned by Punkbuster - Then it start to lagg really hard.

This is a way for PB to try and stop cracked servers by adding there IP and make the players LAGG like crazy so that they finally stop playing there, but just donwload the fix and read the text file, you can find the file HERE

Note: A few users reported that you may still experience the lag and get kicked a few times, but just keep connecting to randomly banned servers and let it lag you. Eventually the lag will stop and you'll stop getting the warnings and be able to play the game as usual. You'll never have to do this again once it fixes itself.


I get kicked and get a message Punkbuster Disallowed Program/Driver [80249] or some other number

If you tried to cheat using hack files etc then foget about this help, if you dident this might help:

There isent a 100% solution for this but you can try these steps and give it a try after every step.
-Disable all programs not needed when playing, speacialy programs like Daemon tools, Alcohol120%, Download managers etc.
-Do a complet virusscan of your computer, NO fast scans it needs to be complete.
-Re-install PB and DirectX and make sure you have the latest videodrivers.
-If nothing helps try un-installing your virus software.
 

I get kicked out for: YOURNAME Punkbuster kicked player 'YOURNAME' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Corrupted File/Memory [81395] or some other number

If you tried to cheat using hack files etc then foget about this help, if you dident this might help:

1. Delet all the stuff in your PB folder
2. Go to evenbalance and download pbsetup or do the manual update
3. Follow the instructions
4. Try and connect.

If this still dosent help do this:

1. Uninstall the whole game(delet all folder after uninstall)
2. Install the game without install punkbuster
3. Use patch 1.1
4. Download and launch PBSETUP
5. Update pb
6. Play


I Keep getting kicked by punkbuster with some kick message about some rate what do i do?

You need to change your rate=your connection to the server, there are 2 ways to do this either go into Multiplayer Options and change it there under connetion, set it to LAN/cable/DLS.
Another way is to take down console and type /rate 25000 - then press enter.


I keep getting kicked for: Unknown Soldier(or other name) (slot #??) Bad (Disallowed) Name or maby you get kicked for Empty Player Name Disallowed

Just change you name to a better name, bad names could be HITLER, HESS or other bad words or profanity.
To change name type this in console: /name NEWNAME (then press enter)


I Keep geting kicked/banned from your server with this kick/ban message:

Notice: Server Disconnected - you have been permanently banned from this Game Server via PunkBuster ... GLOBAL PunkBuster GUID BAN 9aoca551

You need to change your CD-KEY in multiplayer options


PB keep kicking me for the reason bellow:

PunkBuster Client Removing "PLAYERNAME" 5a0a (GLOBAL Punkbuster GUID BAN 50a15a0a)

Well i dont really have any 100% fix to this problem but we have a way to fix it every time it happens.

Why you get kicked for it is becasue someone with the same cd-key that you use have been cheating and got caught and banned with a hardware ban + guid ban, meaning that all other players with the same CD-Key will also be banned.

If you get banned for this you can still change your CD-Key and start playing again but then you will have to do it the correct way of you might lose your rank, follow this LINK how to change CD-KEY.

The best way to fix this problem and for it to never ever comeback is to buy the game and get a real CD-KEY.


Punk Buster keeps kicking me with the following message:

Inadequate O/S Priviledges And for Ignoring MD5Tools Querries

The "Inadequate O/S Priviledges" means that you are not logged into your computer with Administration rights, and even if you are some people can still get that error follow this LINK TO HELP DOCUMENT with some diffrent solutions.


I get some WARNING message about old version of punkbuster or PB Init failure

PunkBuster is designed to auto-update itself during gameplay but sometimes it dosent work correctly and you need to update yourself, there are a few diffrent ways but PBsetup is the easiest way, you can read more HERE.

[KingofKings]

Hello, i have this problem every time i connect to a server, it works good for 1 min. then i see this:
*WARNING*: CVAR r_lodscalegirid=2 and in 1 min i get kicked out of the server. please help

[[Magi]Danielk0582]

CVAR is a config text file issue isn't it? Just a matter of figuring out which file it is exactly! =P

HELP I GET THIS ERROR
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\Downloads\Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare RAZOR 1911\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warefare\main\iw_06.iwd

[pathfinder_05]

At last my chance to repay the community for their help.

If you are having problems with the following files -

iw_06.iwd
iw_07.iwd
iw_08.iwd
iw_09.iwd
iw_10.iwd
iw_11.iwd

- just look for them on Google, either in Rapidshare or as a torrent.

When downloaded go to the following folder/directory 'Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\main' and you will see all the old  'iwd' files..... just paste and overwrite the old with the recently downloaded (I have no idea what they are for but probably best to back up that folder in case).

I had to do all 6 and then got to play online.

Good luck and thanks to everyone for a great tutorial!!!!!!!!!

[omgfaillol]

My screen hangs at "Attempting to connect 1-9..." And then it never connects!
Help

[ODoyle]

It works! 

But, CoD crashes without any error messages mid-game. At first it was after 5 minutes of playtime. Now it doesn't happen until about 20mins. I don't understand why. But, either way, I'm happy to be able to see what online gameplay is like before I buy.
