people cant join my server, ive tryed port forwarding, setting up a static IP, and even putting my router in the dmz, but nothing works, im pretty sure its a firewall on my router, maybe a nat? im not sure, but i cant figure out how to disable it, people who try to join my games cant get in, for some reason it says Retrying server (my IP):2360 or sometimes (my IP):2374, its like my Port keeps changing that im hosting on, i made the ports 2302 and 2303 in halo, so the ports should be 2302 and 2303, anyone know how to fix this?

Yea, kept happening to my friends, the ports were changed everytime he started a server, so AR Tray Spy (keeps track of favourite game servers) couldn't keep track of it but anybody could join it. Did you get a cd with your router? I use a netgear router, and there is a configuration section where you configure ip, firewall and encryption. I suggest you check out your configuration. If that doesn't work, check if your personal firewalls (the ones built in by microsoft) are disabled. And one more thing, make sure there isn't an IP addresss conflict

well all i figured out is that i didnt do the static IP right in my router settings, i have a netgear too, im not really sure how to make a static IP, but everything else is right and i dont have any software firewalls running so maybe i need to make a static IP, can someone tell me how?
