Open ports 2302 and 2303 on your router. Also, you can't join your own dedicated server because it's at the same ip address, and that doesn't really work with the netcode and such...

Heyyo,

YES, you can always join your own DS in pretty much any game. It just seems to be a rule of Thumb that game's deny the same IP servers with the default ports.. why? I dunno, lol.

So change your Halo DS ports to something like 2304 and 2305, and don't forget to open these ports on your router. ;)
