I have a problem, but it also spreads to halo ce, halo custom edition, and halo trial; whenever i try to start a server, no one can join. i asked someone to help me out, he said that he saw my server in the list, but couldn't join it because there was no ping. i think this is going on for everyone out there. i leave the server open for a while, but still, no one joins. i have....fast internet (120 kb/s download speed max) and wireless internet. my dad has wep...or 128 bit protection on the router, and i tried actually turning off my firewall, the darn thing STILL didn't work. i really want to start my own servers, its just a pain in the butt now, any help will be DEEEEEPPPPPLLYYY appreciated. thanks a lo.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

You need to forward port 2302 UDP from your router to your PC. Try http://www.portforward.com.

Thanks for the reply, BUT, i asked the same guy to go, and he went, and he said there was still no ping, i made sure i got the right router number, and it still didn't work. any other advice?

and also keep in mind, i have two routers hooked up, a wireless and a wired, so i think that pf config could find some issues, please get back to me.

also, for PFconfig, i need a serial number, any FREE things i can get?

I don't know of any free alternatives to PFConfig, but then again you might not need it. What you might need is the manuals for each router. They should have control panels where you can forward port 2302 UDP to your computer. To find out what your computer's local IP address is, run cmd, and in that window run ipconfig. If you can't do this I don't know what else to suggest. :(

but your help is always welcome :D

oh, and i was wondering if there were any programs that could track my halo stats....kinda like the tracker for halo 2 and 3. so it would let me know my K/D ratio, that stuff :D

I'm a little stumped as to why you would want to create a server, with so many open and lag-free dedicated servers out there...

Sorry I don't know the cause of your problem, but I do know a few people who had it. I'll ask if anyone got it fixed.

thanks a lot.
the reason i want to create my own server is because my internet is slow. i know of people who have slower internet than i, and they get people on their server. i just want basically the same thing.
thanks for your reply :)

If your internet is slow then any server you host would be extremely painful for all participants.

it isn't as much slow as it is slow for me
i have 120 kb/s d/load speed. so it would be better if i made the server.
