I'm having the same problem as Phoenix 2. I love hosting on Halo CE, but after the version 1.07 patch I have the same problem as he does. When I'm hosting, my internet connection drops, everyone gets cut off I assume (cause they all quit). I then have to exit out and reboot my modem to reestablish my internet connection. This only seems to happen when I'm hosting, and it only started happening after the new patch. I have Charter cable internet 3MB down 256K up. I have no problems with the ISP otherwise. I always get consistent speeds in the tests I run. Any suggestions Please Help

How many people are in the server at the time that everyone gets kicked? You should only have around 6-7 people on your server at the most with 256 up.

Yes I do have it set to 8 max, I know thats too many, but it never dropped the connection before? Maybe with this new patch it automatically cuts your ISP off when you have too many? IDK

I have dropped the number of players in my server and still no luck. There are many others that seem to be having the same problem after the patch. This patch has ruined the game for me. I'm soooo disapointed!!

I don't know how the 1.07 DS Patch affected serverside packet rates and such, but I would bet that the more likely cuproit is Charter.

Be warned - I hate Charter with a passion - I'd like to send them a long cylindrical sculpture made of barbed wire for the holidays so they can enjoy themselves.

However, I wouldn't doubt that you may be exceeding some sort of bandwidth cap -? maybe... That's my best guess, though - have you tried hosting a DS on CE? The log might help you diagnose the problem if it persists.
