First off, I have been trying to LAN over wireless with some macs and I was wondering if there was a way to do it as I use a PC. I was also wondering if there is any way to wirelessly connect to another PC to play LAN Halo.

My other question is that when I try to play over gamespy servers, it says I am not upgraded, and to come here... where do I get the upgrade? Thanks!

An unpatched Mac and PC copy should be able to LAN with each other.

I'm not sure about patched, as I'm not sure whether the Mac version has received the latest version or not.

As for the updates, they are available on the official Halo PC site.

I play on a Mac over the internetwith PCs via my dsl connection. I don't see why it shouldn't work on a LAN, wired or wireless. Check your router manual for how to allow other computers to join the network.

When it comes to things like ethrtnet and wireless, there is no difference between Mac and PC, It's all the same.

Okay, the exact thing that happens is this. I try to run a game from Gamespy Arcade and then it doesn't work, it says that my client is too old. How do I update my Halo client????
