I recently bought Halo and have been trying to join a multiplayer game with no success.

I installed Halo, went to multiplayer, downloaded the patch. Then when to Join Game -> Internet

Pulled up a list of games available. Plenty to chose from. I clicked one ... connecting to server ... retrying 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ... 5 ...

Unable to Join Game.

Every time. The game isn't locked. It has enough people ready. I've been doing this for a good half an hour.

When I try to create my own going by going to Create Game -> Internet, I get basically the same thing. I choose my options, then it comes up with "Unable to Join Game."

Anybody have any idea what the problem is?

It could be your Virusscanner Firewall, those things block this "activity" if you dont set them up right, and you should check if you have the correct version of Halo, just to be sure, and offcourse the state of your internet connection, and did it show up at more then 10 games?If so check the list i wrote again, if nothing works, either reinstall or check your internet.

I don't have a firewall on this computer.

It's a fresh copy of Halo, and I think the patch that was installed was 1.04 ... are there newer ones?

Yeah, plenty of games. 10 pages worth, 468 players online.

I use a cable modem, and my internet has been flying all day, both with other downloads and surfing.

Like I said, I have a router. I set the ports 2302 and 2303 as open, these are the ports it states in the network settings that it uses ...
