This is semi on-topic..but.. I have a D-Link DI-604 router with two computers hooked up to it. I opened ALL the port ranges I can find for Halo on my router, opened them on Windows Firewall, and disabled Norton Anti-Virus. My problem is... no one can see when I host a game on either computer, regular or a dedicated server, so I would assume its definitely the router. No one can even use Direct IP to join my game. It is very frustrating because today when i unplugged my modem completely and my router completely, restarted both computers (without ethernet cables in,) and then put everything back, I opened up Halo and clicked on my dedicated server. I browsed all the games and much to my suprise I could see my dedicated server for once. So I made a game and in an instant people joined! After that I exited Halo..and opened it up no more than five minutes later. I made a game and no one could join or see it. I have been having this problem for so long.
I have tried restarting, re-installing, the whole works.
Edit - I also tried changing the ports that I use for Halo and turning on the DMZ , but to no avail.
If you could help me I'd appreciate it a lot.
Thanks,
