Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me with this issue. Every time I try connecting to a match in Modern Warfare 2, it just keeps me at the lobby screen, saying "trying to find good matches" with '50ms ping'(dunno what that means)

To resolve this, I've tried:

-Expanding my network bandwith

-Playing when the servers were less crowded

If i could get some help with this it would be greatly appreciated

How long do you wait? It takes quite a while to make matches sometimes (40+ seconds)

I'm assuming you've waited longer than this though? XD

whats your NAT set at? and ping is a measure of the time it takes for the signal you send to the host to bounce back to you. The higher your ping, the more lag you will have

20 minutes? Does your LIVE connect to everything else okay? (Marketplace, other games etc.)

Yeah it does. I'm on a wireless network with a full-strength connection. When I download games on XBLA it takes about 5-20 minutes, at the most
