First of all, that's his internal IP, so it's perfectly ok to give that away. Even if it would be his external IP, there would still be nothing bad about giving it away because it takes like 30 seconds to look it up if he is running a server anyway. Don't give useless replies to threads, especially if you have no clue what you are talking about. It only makes you look dumb.

Now that we clarified that, let's move on to the subject at hand.

You can only forward the same ports to one computer. If you want to run Halo on multiple computers in your network, you have to adjust the port settings for the second computer to for example 2304 and 2305. You will find those in the "Network Settings" menu in Halo.

If that was your Ip address then people can get into your INTERNET files. and such .so yes it was worth saying.
If you don't want my advice fine then be it.
*edit*
Oh it's internal. okay then.

Both servers have different ports set up PC 100 has 2302 (-port 2302 -cport 2303) pc 200 has 2304 (-port 2304 -cport 2305)

Hmm, then I don't really know what it could be. Double check the IP address so that you're sure it's 200... doublecheck your firewall settings... I know they're noobie questions, but sometimes you forget the obvious.

This should work, I did it before, with a Linksys.

Well, since you are the one who has to set them up in the ini-file... ;-)

And nope, sorry... I have no idea why you are having such problems with it. It worked fine for me.

You could try to run the two servers on the same machine instead of two different machines and see if that works?

Just a shot in the dark, make sure Windows firewall is disabled on machine that is not working. It looks like everything else is setup right

yes, actually, what i did was clone the hard drive since both were Dell 1100 PC's, I then changed the port to run off of and the internal IP. So everything should work fine, but it doesnt
