[destruktor2000]

hi

first things first COD 4 is aaaawesome

a friend of mine recomended me to install a private server patch and i did but i have no idea how to use it and what its for

can you guys help

and one thing since i installed the patch whenever i go to join a game and search for servers it wont show results!!! prior to installing the patch i could see available servers etc not anymore?

can you guys help me and explain to me what a private server patch is for and how to use it do i have to enter my freinds server ip manually? if so how ?

thanx
