Subject: Halo PC & CE problems -- Friends cannot join my server

whoever is sending those strangely familiar messages... you know... "i was searching the site when i found your profile..." THOSE. Cut it out.

My friends cannot join my halo server when I host. Not only my friends but the world!

I have port forwarded port 80 to both
I have port forwarded port 2302 & 2303 to UDP
I have created ports for those in the windows firewall
My games ARE visible but the game says "Connecting to server *ip address* (1)
retrying (2)"
and so on
I should have fixed everything but it still wont work.

EDIT: Dedicated servers do not work either

who is your internet service provider? if it is SBC than its usually their modem that blocks most incoming connections.

Make sure you and your friends have installed the latest patch v1.09

I have the same problem. Port forwarded flawlessly, still closed. *sigh*

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

Try joining through direct IP.

I had this problem previously, in the server list it was showing, but the port was getting randomised for some reason, well it was different to what was specified.

Got a friend to join through direct IP and another came in through xfire, and they both managed to get in.
