Call of Duty 4 Internet Connection Requirements

Call of Duty 4 is one of the most popular first-person shooters available, winning several "Game of the Year" distinctions and rave reviews from gamers everywhere. Marketed across several video game consoles, including those made by Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, there are also PC and Mac computer versions. Multiplayer online gameplay is fun and addicting, so utilizing your Internet connection to its fullest potential will give you an advantage over opponents online.

Activating your Internet Connection
- To activate your home Internet connection, make sure your router is connected to your Internet service provider and plugged into an outlet.
  
  To play Call of Duty 4 online, you must first ensure your Internet connection is functioning properly. High-speed connections such as DSL and cable are preferable to dial-up Internet networks, as the higher data transfer rates DSL and cable provide reduce lag-time between user input and game response online against other opponents. To activate your connection, first make sure your router is correctly connected to your DSL or cable provider and powered on. An LED light, usually green, will indicate a working router and a connection to the Internet.
Connecting your Computer to the Internet
- A working connection between your computer and your router allows easy online play in Call of Duty 4.
  
  After establishing a working link to the internet from your router, you can then connect your computer to the network. Most routers are able to connect to computers either via physical ethernet cables or wireless LAN networks. Decide whether you would like to use an ethernet cable or a wireless network card to connect to the internet. A working connection will be indicated by your computer operating system's user interface. Once you are connected to the Internet from your own computer, you may begin playing Call of Duty 4 online.
