maybe nobody likes you, lol

its probably something to do with internet... you dont need to host servers anyway, there are plenty of good servers to join

1. do you have a router/firewall
2. are you 100% positive, that the ports 2302 and 2303 are open on both?

Did u try to mod or to change the maps? Cuz i think Bungie can lock ur game if its modded so it shows 0/# under players.

Un true, you can have any type of modded map in Halo PC for the multiplayer part.

there may be someting up with your anti virus. i had the same prob a while ago. my anti virs (NORTON) was blocking people from joining my server. so all I have to do if i ever want to host a game is just shut down Norton all the way and normaly im good.

Admittedly, your IP is too high. An IP address has numbers seperated only by 3 periods (ex: 123.45.6789 ). I think you have the wrong type of IP in your hands there. (yes, there ARE multiple types of IP addresses)

Someone around these forums has an the address for a website that tells you what your IP address for gaming is. Hopefully they can help you more.

Oh, and do check for firewalls and open ports 2302-2303 for gaming. If you have ZoneAlarm, Norton, or a router (routers have rudimentary, built-in firewalls), etc, etc, you likely have some sort of firewall in place.

remember, thyer are alot of servers. Its posible that evryone is on other servers so theyrs olmost noone to go to yours. people are likely to go to a more popular server because they think it must be good if evryone likes it.

Yeah I'm having a similar problem, my friend says that my games don't even show up, he can't find them when he hits get list on the multiplayer. We both updated Halo and still he can never see my games and when I try to join one of his it can't connect, it just says, retrying connect to server (1, 2, 3) etc and then it just says could not connect to server.

I also had this problem IT IS NOW FIXED your ip you gave earlier of 192.168.1.101 is absolutely not to high thats the craziest thing i have ever heard. Now that that is off my mind you must be hooked to a router and if that is the case which im 99.99% sure you are you are also the 2nd computer in your house that is hooked to the router but anyway thats unimportant what you do is open your browser window ie Internet Explorer and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that should bring up a user name and password box the username and password are most likely admin and admin if so you are now logged into your router now you have to find in the settings of your router where it says port forwarding then be sure you have port 2302 and 2303 forwarded to the appropriate ip on your home network ie 192.168.1.102 once that is done there may also be another area of your settings that makes mention of DMZ hosting by default a Router will not allow outside connection to your PC its kind of a hardware FIREWALL very effective one at that anyway if you find where it says DMZ hosting you have to allow that for your IP 192.168.1.102 now some may say thats a bad idea but im letting you know now so i dont have to repost when you come back and say that didnt work the only reason port forwarding wouldnt work is if you dont do it right which in effect allowing DMZ hosting from your IP will effectively disable the FIREWALL on your IP only so whatever other computers in your house are still protected by it. If this helps at all then your welcome if it doesnt then Im sorry. But deffinetly be sure that you have any other firewall on your pc shut off including Windows Firewall in windows XP if you have that.

P.S. be sure that your in game filter is set to show user created map servers very important!!!!!
