Does the post say how to bridge with Webroot? I don't know what that is, I posted how to do it with a lag switch and how to do it with Zone Alarm.

I have Webroot also, and Otaku's way is an option, but there is another way to get host, turn your firewall on before you select a match, once it starts searching and puts in a lobby by yourself, put down the firewall and the people will start joining.
But one thing is for sure, if other people have much better connection than you, you won't be host.
But me as an example, I don't have great connection, I tired this method, and out 5 games, I was able to get host 3 times.
But don't leave if you are dropped down to second, it's still a possibility that you might be host.

so before you search for a game, you put ur firewall thing on orange? (at the top right) how long does it take you to find a game? cuz i do that but i dont find a game

It should leave you waiting for at least 8 seconds.
But I think I know why your not finding matches, sometimes the Xbox Live IP changes so you have to keep checking it periodically, this also happened to me and I can 98% guarantee that that's the problem.

what IPs of xbox live have u got? and how do you find out what xbox live IP's are?

HangtimePro · 03-13-2009, 06:43 PM

There can be many, but it always starts with 198.168.1. ..
After the number one, there is usually one number or two. To check the IP, go to System Settings, then Test Xbox Live Connection, and then Configure Network.
It will be the first IP at the top, with the numbers that I told you.

Pavarotti tF · 03-13-2009, 06:49 PM

ye k i got that. u know any auto-standby things that work with webroot? how do you use your webroot? do you just click it?

HangtimePro · 03-13-2009, 08:25 PM

The auto-standby that they use with Halo does not work with Webroot. I've tried it. Although, I am not sure if there are other ones.
But yeah, all I have do is click the yellow button for the firewall to activate.

Pavarotti tF · 03-14-2009, 08:58 AM

do you only lag switch on cod 4? or any other games?

HangtimePro · 03-14-2009, 12:45 PM

I used to do it for Gears 2, and a little GTA IV.

Otaku Se7en · 03-14-2009, 01:53 PM

I use my lag switch in almost every game I play online.

Pavarotti tF · 03-14-2009, 02:12 PM

ye i use it on cod 4 whenever i can get host, but havent used on gow 2 yet.

HangtimePro · 03-14-2009, 02:32 PM

You should read about it on the forums.

Pavarotti tF · 03-14-2009, 02:55 PM

reading about what? gow 2 standbying? i know how to do it, its just i dont have a team to do it with. What IPs do you have on your webroot?

HangtimePro · 03-14-2009, 03:01 PM

Well I haven't gone on Gears for a while, so if it hasnt changed its: 66.74.73.102.
And also Xbox Live's IP, which I already told you about.
You know you could always try and go in by yourself on wingman.
That's why I'm telling you to read up on the forums.

Pavarotti tF · 03-14-2009, 03:20 PM

ye but i heard it takes ages to find wingamn matches, especially on your own

HangtimePro · 03-14-2009, 03:32 PM

Haha true
I tried doing that, and the farthest I got was, I was able to find a player because luck of the draw from putting an IP to my trusted, and that was it. We never found a match and he ended up leaving so I had to restart the process.

Pavarotti tF · 03-14-2009, 03:53 PM

i just tried wingman with my friend, i has his ip trusted and all, did the steps on one of the tuts but i keep gettin a game in like 15 seconds and im never host
