If you have ADSL, don't start a server. ;-)

It's probably your firewall blocking HaloPC.

Your friend miht have a 56k, but it will only ever be able to accomidate 2 people (the server and a guest) unless you want extreme lag.

Heyyo,

http://www.portforward.com

find your firewall, and/or router, n' start opening those ports. You need to open ports 2302 and 2303. If you open those ports properly and you still can't play? you're probably locally routed by your ISP. Just phone them up n' say you can't host any internet services from your computer such as multiplayer games, n' they usually can help you out. ;)

I think the ports are in UDP mode..

hey everyone I'm a big fan of halo and have been playing it for a while now, I recently got the net and started playing online, very fun...
my friend and I wanted to play on a server that I create.... I have a ADSL modem and a 512k internet conection, but when I create a server, no-one can join, I think it has something to do with my modem or my firewall... has anybody had this problem, if so can u help me with it???

Um when it doesn't work, does the computer give any message? If so what does it say? Are you sure it doesn't show up in the lobby? If your friend can connect with direct IP that means it should be there. Otherwise your computer might be blocking it somehow. And also when your server came up, did you refresh you server list? That might explain why it wasn't there at that moment.

You have to open another port to connect to the gamespy server but that one was open for me so if you closed port 80 (I think) then it wouldn't show, but then you wouldn't be able to play multiplayer either.

Heyyo,

Nah, you don't need to worry aboot port 80. I don't and my games show up in the lobby. Now, your buds game can connect to you, that's a good thing. I suggest not tampering with it if it's working, unless you really want others to join your server. Then? well, I guess try opening port 80, I suggest trying to open port 81 as well cause I know some games use port 81 to list on the lobby..

and np for giving you help.. that's what I'm hea to do. Since there's annoyances such as hihi, I'm here to bring balance and peace and help. ;)
