if they cant join your game it means your internet SUCKS ie:dial-up
a dedicated server is very technical and if you have a fire-wall or router you cant use one...i would use them but i have both a router and a fire-wall....
what kind of short-cuts?

hate to tell you, but that's 90% wrong. in order to host, (which you CAN do even if you have dial up), you must have ports 2300 to 2305 open on both your firewall and router, which is the same requirement for running a DS. and, of course, you must set your firewall to allow halo.exe to acess the internet, but that's obvious.
um... that's basicaly it. if you want to learn about, or learn how to open ports, i suggest going to http://www.portforward.com/
*note, opening ports is the same as forwarding ports.
