I have tried everything in my power to figure out what is wrong, but have come up with nothing. When I try to join a server in Halo PC (1.07) it says "Connecting to server" then "Retrying server (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) Then kicks me to a "Unable to join server." But when I go back to the browser, only like 20 servers come up (Out of about 1,000 last time.) and I can't join any of them either. Halo is in my firewall exceptions, The ports are open, I have 1.07, and it's not working on either of my computers. PLease... any suggestions.

1. Don't double post, i see your thread.

2. You have 2 very nice rigs, better than mine. It's definitely not your hardware. I say its ur modem or ISP. What service do you have?

I've combed all the security settings, and none of them are in a setting to interfere with the game.

It's different for each brand of firewall. But there should be a port configuration setting somewhere. Just set it to allow ports 2302 and 2303. My best advice is to poke around the damn thing until you find it. Differs for brand, though. Some are absolutely horrible to use, others are simple to clear ports.
