Hey all, I'm relatively new to nobs, but am enjoying the time I did play there earlier.  It's nice to have a place to play with 4 distinct servers with varying gameplay that's cracked!

At any rate, after this morning, it seems that I, and a number of other players across the COD4 cracked world are having troubles staying connected to servers.  I posted in the PB issues forum (not sure if its a PB issue though) and also the server forum but with no answer.

I'm right now trying to hunt down exactly what is causing the client to say this: "Warning: This Server is BANNED by Punkbuster" over and over again and about 2 minutes into the game, lagging to the point of the screen freezing ever other second making it impossible to even type in chat, let alone play.

I see a lot of cracked players are still playing flawlessly though without a problem, so I'm going to post exactly how I installed everything and for those who have it working, please respond with any differences in it so we can track this down and put out a notice on this!

1. Downloaded COD4 via newsgroups, installed game.
2. updated from original version to 1.4.
3. updated from 1.4 to 1.5
4. used cracked rar file to replace i3wmp.exe
5. installed All seeing eye
6. manually upgraded punkbuster
7. imported server list to All Seeing eye
8. start game via all seeing eye (double click server from list and auto game start)
9. run /pb_security 0 and /pb_system 0 in console
10. constantly get message: "Warning: This server is BANNED by Punkbuster"
11. play for 1.5 minutes
12. suddenly incredible freezing and lag (to the point where I have to ctrl+alt+delete my way out.
13. back at Desktop.

Let's solve this guys!

I'm not sure what the deal is.  When I first started playing online like, a week or so ago, I kept getting booted because of PB.  I snagged the pbsetup and it updated just fine, and I've been problem free on the NoBs servers ever since.  My cod4 is also cracked, so I have no idea what the deal is.  Although, I like this game so much that I think I might go buy it, haha.
