Its really weird, this little box comes up on the right hand side of my screen and I cant do anything but look around, then I disconnect. This is the only time I ever disconnect, and its anoying as heck.(lol rhyme)

The little box means you lost connection. Tell your PC specs (helps you not connect/lag out of severs), and internet specs (ex. provider, speed, if DSL, dial-up, satellite, or cable internet)

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

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

You never know how good or bad a host's connection is going to be, or where they're hosting from. They could be in China. That box comes up when Halo's having connection difficulties. It could be anything. Try another host until you find one that seems stable.

You might want to call up your internet service provider and see if they can help you with your connection. Or maybe just uninstall and reinstall and see if the game works then.

It happens to me a lot of the time too. Look for a game with low ping too minimize the effect or host a game yourself and see if anybody is lagging.
