Forward your ports. If it's a dedi, make sure you followed the instructions to the letter.

If you have a firewall, make sure to bring that down.

Wow, sorry I didn't know that. But guess what? That doesn't mean bullcrap. So, the firewall allows the Halo program to run, big deal. That doesn't mean it's going to let other players connect to your network which your firewall may or may not see them as intruders trying to hack into your system. Jackass.

If your firewall isn't working, forward your ports anyway.

Actually I might be wrong. But whatever.

Hey Many_Pies or whatever, you came here for help, yet you are being a stone cold jackass. So, why the hell should we help you?

Oh, and if you want Halo to work properly, go to Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, and click the button called Add/Remove Windows Components, and uninstall Internet Explorer. The latest version of IE really messes with Halo.

It may not be your firewall, it just might be no one is joining your games. Two other things: make sure you don't have a password set up for your game, or if you do, make sure people know it. And make sure you're software is up-to-date, it should be version 1.0.7.

1) You will need to patch halo to v1.7 from the microsoft/bungie web page (or through the update program in your halo directory)
2) You say you have allowed Halo through the firewall - so that's fine.
3) If you use a router, you will need to forward the ports 2032 and 2033 (these may be wrong, check your instruction book for the ports) from the internet to your pc. This will allow the connections through your router and this is DIFFERENT from your normal firewall.
4) Does anyone actually want to join the game?
