Ok this really sucks... for some reason me when me and my friend try to play halo together, we can't. We've tried it on HaloPC and CE and neither work. It just says unable to join game.
I've tried to connect to his server and he's tried mine. we're on the same LAN internet service. and we both have routers. We tried after unhooking mine and connecting the modem directly to the computer. Someone please tell me why it won't work, I'd be very grateful.

Heyyo,

Hmm, by lan internet service, I think you mean ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Now, you probably need to open/foward ports on your routers. The default ports of Halo is 2302 and 2303.

Make sure when you host you do create Internet game, and NOT create LAN game.

If these don't work? your ISP might have you locally routed. I had this prob, my old IP was something like 172.184.***.*** but I got mine changed so I can now host, my new ip's like 208.163.***.*** so yeah, tell us the 2 first set of numbers in your ip... http://www.whatsmyip.org

24.229.*.***
I can host games for other people but not him. There's no ping when he selects the server. We live like less than a mile away.

that could be the oddest IP I've ever seen. Don't they go xxx.xxx.x.x?
