I downloaded the halo demo off the site here and I was able to play online (laggy but it was OK) Impressed by this I decided to go out and buy the whole game, only to load it up and now for some reason I couldnt get on. It told me that i needed an update, fine got that now what? It checks for updates every time then I click "Get List" to find games and nothing.
Also GameSpy arcade that comes free with this freezes at the Main Menu, do you need this to play online Halo?

Thanks, Rudgey.

I read that in another post about if you bought it after 1.07, I did. But do you have to delete the 1.07 patch before getiin 1.05? or just download them?

Yes, if you already downloaded the 1.07 patch, you have to delete it. Than download patches 1.04 to 1.07 and in order.

First off, you should have checked the following after you first updated to 1.07:

*Is the firewall preventing connection?
*Do you have server filters on?

No, you do not need gamespy arcade for halo to run. In my opinion, it's just -blam!-. I never installed it.

And this is not true:

I've reinstalled several times, taking me back to 1.00. I never had to do such thing. Just check the link in my sig if you want to download the 1.07 patch manually.

And finally, the patch is not called haloconfg.cfg or whatever.
