I want to build a cracked Call of Duty 4 server on my own. But there is a problem. When other people try to join they get the message: Keycode in use. Even tho it is a cracked server. The people who try to join have a cracked version of CoD4 just like me, but when I can join without any problems. I made the server on the following way:
• Downloaded cracked Call of Duty 4 on my WIndows XP server
• Patched it to V1.7
• Downloaded server.cfg, edited server.cfg and placed it in the Call of Duty 4/main folder
• Created a shortcut of iw3mp.exe on my desktop and added to the target: +set dedicated 2 + exec server.cfg +map_rotate
• Portforwarded TCP/UDP port 28960 of my server PC which ip is 192.168.1.105
After I did this I opened the shortcut and the server began to run. I could join my server from my laptop without any problem at the 192.168.1.105 IP but others can't join that IP because it's an intern IP. Then I tried to join my extern IP (which I want to keep private so lets call it externip) externip:28960 I could join also without problems. I gave the externip:28960 to other people, but they couldn't join because they got the error: Keycode in use. The network settings in the server.cfg are like this:
// Network options
set net_ip "192.168.1.105" // Set your servers IP address
set net_port "28960" // Set your port number
set com_hunkMegs "512"
set net_noipx "2" // Allow ONLY tcp/ip protocol, player/server communications

// Server Network Mode
set dedicated "2" // 0 = Listen, 1 = LAN, 2 = Internet

It's really annoying and weird because I use a cracked version of CoD4 too but I can join without any problems. And I really don't have a clue what it's caused by especially because I use externip:28960 too. So it must be cracked but for some reason it's only cracked for me. Please help me!!

Thanks a lot.
