We need more information from both of you. Can you see other servers in the lobby, or do you just get a blank lobby screen? Have you tried connecting to a direct IP address? Can you create a server for online play?

It sounds like a firewall issue or an update issue.

More info.......

First I would find out what firewall there is on the pc. Once you do that, go into the firewall and find out if it is keeping Halo or Gamespy from accessing the internet.


Good luck.

i can see servers in the lobby, but not as many servers as before the problem started. wen i attempt to join a game it says "connecting to *i.p address*" then it goes onto retry a few time and then it says unable to join server.

i think mine has the normal amount of servers but when i try to join it says negotiating connection to server then it says unnable to join server. it is really annoying, it works on my other computer so im wondering what is wrong with this computer.

that happens to me a couple of times i think it is them having their firewall up but i just go to a different server but does it happen to you every single server?

Maybe its because you have an illegal game, or the CD Key is wrong, cause this happened at some of my LAN parties so we just got new CD keys.

Try reinstaling halo then when it asks you if you want to register it online click yes
if that dosent work if you have a firewall make sure its not blocking halo
if that dosent work go to the bungie home page and click on help at the verry bottom of the page
