umm... you don't have to pay gamespy. The software comes with halo, its on the CD. All you have to pay for is the internet.

Just go to the find game menu and then hit get list at the lobby. You don't need to pay any money. you shouldn't need to find IP addresses. What's you're internet like, any firewalls, other programs?

i just love helping people who would otherwise spend all their precious money... but really also be sure to amke sure that u go to Settings, then Network connections, and make sure it has the right speed of your internet, trust me, if that's wrong ur Halo multiplayer experience wil be REALLY laggy. If u have dial-up go 56k, for either light cable or DSL(most Broadband internet connections) go (LOW) Cable, then there's (AVERAGE)Cable-pretty straightforward most "high-speed" cable connections, and finally (HIGH)Cable-Extreme high-speed connections are common, then finally wiht T1 and T3, u probaly don't have this cause it's usually for networked computer systems(i.e at school,work) k hope that helped u a bit.
