I have 2 Halo programs one is the new version the other is the old one. I have a crossover cable and I'm trying to play Halo between my kid and I. But I'm getting messages about one sever is newer and the other one is the older. Is this about the 2 different versions??? I'm trying to connect using the LAN option. Can anyone help me????

You mean buying another custom (new) version of HALO?

No if you go to the map where you instaled halo you can activate the haloupdate, its in the halo map (its free). Ok?

Remeber I'm trying to connect directly not using the gamespy server. Using a croosvover cable, that is just like an ethernet cable but modified. The halo update comes up when you connect to Gamespy via internet. Using the LAN option the update doesn't appears. Thanks.

Both games need to be updated to the same version in order to function with each other. Period. End of story.

If one of the computers doesn't have Internet access, simply download the update executable from Microsoft's Halo site with the computer that does and send it across the network to the computer without Internet access.
