What exactly is the problem you are having? Can you see your server? When you attempt to connect, does it give you an error? Is it saying your CD key is invalid?
The only time you should ever get an error saying your CD key is invalid is when you are using a key that has been published to the Internet and is distributed by pirates. Of course, this would also mean that if you are running an updated version of Halo, you would not be able to connect to ANY games you find on the Internet as well.
You actually don't even need to install Halo to use the dedicated server. All you need is the dedicated server exe, strings.dll, and a "maps" folder with all stock maps inside it. You also need your Halo profile folder from "My Documents" on the server, so it has all gametypes and doesn't give you any profile path errors.
