Yeah, i have halo ds and am trying to start up a server so all my friends can play with, um, sligtly less lag

but this is where the problem is, i can run everything just fine, just when the server is started, it even says "bla bla is running 0/16 players on blood gulch" or whatever, i have chose the option to display it on gamespy serverlist thingy, but it wont show up (have checked filters) so its not a problem with the ds console, its not a problem with gamespy/filters not a problem with my internet

so whats the problem?
help is greatfully apreciated
even help from anyone who knows nothing about this, or what im even talking about

you probably better off sending a pm on the forums, or adding me to xfire than posting here, because i will probably close this and forget everything...

Yeah that got lost in the Halo 2 PC rush. Do you have the line sv_public True in your init file? You need that in there for it to display on Gamespy. Sv_public 1 will not work that is for Halo Custom edition.

Hm...normally I would tell you not to bump/triple post, but seeing that you needed help and the sudden influx of random nonsense posts because of Halo2, it's completely forgivable and actually better than creating another thread about it. Thanks.

Some computer specs and/or server specs would help us. Also, are there any messages that come up? Does the game lag? etc?

how hard can that be, go to multiplayer, create game, choose your map and gametype, so simple, a ds is much harder, im doing everything right, it just isnt working :/

Have you opened up the 2302 and 2303 ports in your router/firewall?

ill look into that, but the standerd ports that you use for running on normal halo are 2302 and 2303 i never have problems there, ill look at my firewall and router, wait wahts a router again, i can look at the firewall, and firewall settings etc. but i dont know what a router is, im so dumb

Doesn't seem to mater whether u try running a NORMAL Server or Dedicated Server.
I have tried both & found that nether of them show up on the list & no1 else can join.

Although with the NORMAL Server u r still lucky enough 2 join where as even if u lucky enough 2 get yr Dedicated Server listed, chances r u won’t b able 2 join it yrself & it will keep giving u a Connection Timed Out error.

I been trying 2 setup a Dedicated Server 4 a while now & it seldom shows up on the list & then when I finally get it listed I sometimes can’t even join it.

I never had this problem when I use 2 setup my NORMAL/Dedicated Server when Halo 1st came out so I guess ether Bungie or GameSpy don’t seem 2 care about older games & the clients who still play them.

ok, a router allows you to connect multiple computers to each other, or allow them to connect to a single dsl line/cable modem, and access the internet all at once. they can be wired or wireless. do you have anything that seems to fulfill that function?
