This is either your ISP problem, or you put your .map files in the wrong folders. Once you download you map, it'll probably be in a .rar or .zip archive, open it with Explorer, IZArc, WinRAR, whatever and extract to:
C:\Program FIles\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\maps
If that's not it, check your filters, your ISP news/website, or firewall...

You answered your own question. You need to have the map in your Maps folder before you can play it, otherwise you will get that "Unable to connect" error message. Go to Halomaps.org or alternatively Haloimpulse.com and download the maps you want/need.

If you need help downloading and installing, then look in "The Guides" sticky in this forum, there is a guide in there that will walk you through the process.

Heh yeah, resources:

Make sure that hugeass.map or whatever is in your map folder, not a zip or rar folder. If you don't have it, D/L it or join a server running another server!
