    When I load up the game, it keeps popping up "Retrieving accounts information....", and then it tells me "Cannot connect to online services".

    I downloaded and installed the game from: http://files.filefront.com/Call+of+Duty+World+at+War+Beta+Client/;12186825;/fileinfo.html and installed it.

    I can create my own server, and play, but I am the only one in it, and no one else can seem to join.

    I have no Firewall running, and I had a problem when Installing the game. When it asked me to install Punkbuster, I said yes, then it did it's thing, but it kept freezing at the "Finalizing Installation" (Did it twice), so I just closed the program through Task Manager.

    I also got my key from Callofduty.com.

    Anyone have a solution as to why I can't find any servers?

    I was able to connect a few hours back.. Hmm. Initially had some troubles connecting to any server as it said it had problems authenticating my cd key.
    But worked after a few intial tries.

    So try again after a few minutes.

    "Retrieving accounts information....", and then it tells me "Cannot connect to online services".

    That keeps popping up every time I load the game, and it pops up after I close it every 10-30 seconds.

    Got it to work. Just left COMODO Firewall running, and accepted everything it asked for CoD.
