Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

I always get this error when I try to connect to games about being unable to contact the Gamespy Server or something. I was just wondering if I need to add Gamespy Arcade to my exceptions list on the windows firewall or something as this is rather annoying. I can play 1 or 2 games just fine, but when I leave them and try to join another game I get that error, and have to restart Halo. This is really bothersome so any help would be great. And yes I have the latest patch as I can still lay 1 or 2 games before this happens.Have you tried doing it manually? Okay, go to url=www.microsoft.com/games/halo. Done? Good. Go to downloads, look for the manual patch 1.07 for the multiplayer server. Then, go to My PC, Programs and Files, Microsoft Games folder, and Halo. Save it there. It shall ask you if 'ovewrite current file'. Say yes. Then, go to that same exact folder, double click the patch and it'll ask you if to run. Say yes, obviously. It'll patch up and be ready to go.
And if not, then, it's your Firewall probably. Oh, and yes, put Gamespy Arcade in the exceptions list. I mean, it's not like it'll eat you and your Halo.
