alright I have a little situation... my Halo crashed after the server list wouldn't refresh; so i pressed back to return me to the main page, but instead it crashed. As a result now everytime
I try and join a server instead of saying "Connecting to BloodGulch"[or what ever it is >.<] it now says "Connecting to [ip address] and eventually just times out. So u can see my problem. Not even uninstalling and installing again works! =[ /cry

Any help or suggestions are much appreciated, pl0x =]

Btw yes i have looked how 2 fix it myself... no luck =[

Something smells fishy...

Are you behind a router or cable/DSL modem?

If so you might need to configure the built in firewall of the router or modem. I usually set the modem/router firewall to something like "off" or whatever setting that completely allows all traffic.

Also You might want to try forwarding ports for Halo 1 PC.
You can go to this websitehttp://portforward.comand it will guide you through the process.

Also what kind of operating system do you have(it would be helpful to know).

If you have windows(assuming you do) then you should allow Halo 1 PC in the windows firewall.

If you have antivirus software, then it might be blocking Halo 1 PC.

What kind of internet connection do you have (cable/DSL/wireless router configuration)?

(Assuming Windows) What version of Windows do you have?

If you feel it necessary to forward ports I suggest doing it yourself not letting someone else do it.

It's relatively easy (to forward ports).
