Typically I would say those ports are in use... at least that is why you get that message most of the time.

As for all of the ports doing that? Try something like 30000 and see if does the same thing... if so reboot the server and try again.

Never heard of every port being in use unless it was some kind of hardware or software problem other than COD. Have you checked for viruses?

still doesnt work by adding a different set of port numbers.. umm i dont think its a virus though..

[Glanzer]

so when you enter the command "ifconfig" from a command prompt, you definitely see the 66.xxx.xxx.141 IP that you're using in your CoD cfg file?

bah, im a moron i mistyped my ip address wrong.. but thanks for the correct anwser :)
