I have a problem. I can host a game in Halo but nobody ever joins. I asked a buudy of mine to see if I was in the list of servers but I wasn't. I think it is because I have a router. When I host the game tells me my IP Address is 10.0.0.4. But that's the IP Address that has been given to me by the router. My actual IP Address is 195.240.197.178. My question is: How can I host a game and have others in the game besides me? Please help!

Heyyo,

Ok, first off, that IP address is weird. Never heard of any starting off as 10.0.... I'm guessing you're behind some kindof weird router, so you'll need to open ports onnit. Same goes for any firewalls. The ports you need to open are 2301,2302, I suggest opening 2300-2310 just to be safe.

And are you sure that 2nd IP you gave us is your real ip? to test go here:

Yeah... it's my real IP Address. Opening ports on firewall and router... How do I do that?

Heyyo,

Check your boxes for the router, it should say what ip address to put in IE or Firefox.

For firewall? tell us which one you have, I know zone alarm you can't customize it, if you have sygate personal firewall it's easy to do.

Yeah, that ip can be wireless... interesting.
