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?

Just try and open your own server and give your buddies your IP address. If that don't work maybe someone can tell ya what to do next.

On a dedicated server you probably wouldn't be able to play. Unless you had more than one computer. But I hear with the right computer you can. Download Halo CE if you want to do that.

Good luck

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.

it's a fix for if you have a dedicated server running. it's somewhat more advanced then clicking "internet" under the create game menu. if you don't have a DS, you don't need to download that fix
