Connecting to IWNet...

Stuck at 'connecting to IWNet' message. So far I've tried to verify cache, reinstalling the game, restarting my PC and Steam. Also I've tried to launch Spec Ops fist and then the MP, but that didn't work.
What should I do? Any help?

Single Player and Spec Ops are working just fine?

You played the game for 1.9 hrs. Did you ever been in a MOD-Lobby?
Give this a try:
Rename or delete your Config_mp.cfg (...steam/steamapps/common//MW2 folder/players/)
Start MW2 (game creates a new config file with default parameters).

When the game starts correctly, do your settings to your desire and end game.
Now put the Config_mp.cfg on read-only to avoid changes to your config file in the future (by MOD-Lobbies).

My MP worked once, I've played two matches in TDM and I'm sure that wasn't a modded lobby. Single player works just fine, however spec ops online mode dosn't work.
Just tried doing what you said - no result.

If you have played the game online, then its something new on your computer that blocks the game to connect online. Check that IW 4mp.exe (without the space) is enebled in the firewall and/or antivirus. If you only disabled antivirus, it may still block the game to connect online. Maybe you have to uninstall antivirus and then reinstall it.

SAME HERE. Does ANYONE, have experience at FIXING THIS GLITCH ? ? ?
ALL I GET IS:
"PLEASE WAIT
Connecting to IWNet."

And it FREEZES, never going anywhere, on Multiplayer and on some of Special Opts
Could that be an ADD BLOCKER Problem ? ? ?
