Every time i try to start my dedicated server it just keeps saying "Connecting to Online Services.............."

I was hosting yesterday and my server crashed after changing a dvar so i went to restart it and it wont connect to online services for almost 24 hrs now and ive tried:

forwarding ports

resetting router

restarting computer

reinstalling iw5m

reinstalling mw3

turning off firewall

turning off antivirus

 

i don't know what is causing this as i know what I'm doing and haven't changed anything.

Ya that's happened to me all of a sudden to, and I haven't changed anything. .-.

Hmm. i think i solved the issue, McAfee was being an asshole.

Dont lock this yet, I might have issues later

 

Soulution:

McAfee had an update recently and i looked and saw ALL my programs had Full access except one, iw5m_server.exe was apparently blocked for McAfee users after the new update :x .

 

Go to Firewall> Internet Connections for Programs > scroll to iw5m_server.exe and click it> Go to Edit> Change it from Block to Full Access.
