Heyyo,

Ok, answer these quick questions and I can help you out eh?

1) Is your HaloPC DS running on the same computer you're trying to find it on gamespy with? cause if so, then you have to search for a LAN game, and NOT an internet game..

2) If it's on another computer, then you should be fine, you can always try setting the ports 1 number up cause usually the default ports are blocked for LAN computers...

Yeah, it sounds like you are hosting on the same comp that you want to play on. If that's the case, just change the ports and you will be fine.

For the record, I always change the ports up two instead of one when I'm forced to run the server from my main comp. Just my personal preference coz it makes more sense to me not to use the default ports at all. For instance, if you up the port numbers by one, you are still using one of the default ports albeit for a different purpose.
