i just got a new hard drive and mobo. and ever since i installed halo on my new drive. i cant host servers anymore. and i tried to join my friends server via direct ip. and it said my client version was older than the servers.i guessing that has somethhing to do with it. what can i do to get it working again?

thank you.

Make sure you have the latest patch, v1.07.

If you already do, either your ports aren't forwarded, or your firewall is blocking the nessacery ports. Make sure they are open.

What firewall are you using?

For the windows FW, delete the halo option. Restart halo. in windowed mode preferably. Then have it unblock again. That worked for me.
