“Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil."

I cannot log into Microsoft Live to play Halo 2 Vista multiplayer. I have tried every possible troubleshooting technique on the web and have found no solutions. One thing I have found though is hundreds of pages on many different forums with people who can not log into Microsoft Live to play. I have yet to find a person who has actually logged in and played.

So I'm just asking, has anyone on earth been able to play?

I've done everything. I've actually spent the last 10 hours trying to get in. Pathetic, I know.

I can login fine, but one thing you might want to check is if you're using more than one network adapter on your computer, try to disable some of them to leave only the one you use to connect to the internet. (I.E. if you have a wireless card and a LAN card installed at the same time, halo might be looking on the wrong one to get a connection) You can also change the order in which programs look for internet connections by going into "manage network connections" from the network & sharing center, pressing alt (to see the file, edit, etc bar) and clicking advanced - > advanced settings. This will let you pick which network adapter gets searched first for an internet connection requested by halo.

I know. I've done all that, too. Doesn't work, but thanks for trying.

Good job, you just made this thread go into an endless off topic death spiral.

Yeah, I've got all the correct ports, etc. open. I don't even use a firewall. I hope some kind of update comes out to fix this soon.

Hey Brandon, I recently had the same problem. If you have 2 networks, does one of them have ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) turned on? I know when I had this issue, even after disabling the other network, I still couldn't connect. I had to enable the second network, disable ICS, disable the second network and THEN the game worked. For some reason Vista doesn't automatically disable ICS even if the second network is disabled.

Yes, you gotta love a classic Microsoft move. I was in the Windows Live beta, and, of corse, could not play the concept game on Live. I was told I had to download an update, but was never notified to do so. The Microsoft Connnect bug report page for Live was full of the same error I was getting.
