Let me start out that I love Halo and its PC version but this error is driving me up the wall!

I have tried to start a 24/7 dedicated server on Halo PC with semi-luck. Everyone can see the server no problem but when they attempt to join it just keeps looping saying it is attempting to join. I am able to join the server no problem.

Some important info to know:
- I own a Linksys router and have forwarded to ports 80, 2302 and 2303.
- The server is purely dedicated to only Halo and a game called Blockland (tried hosting without the blockland game with no luck)
- I have tried both Halo PC and Halo CE both with the same error.
- The server runs on Windows 2000
- No firewall is on the server computer or router.

This is how I have the .ini file set up:

sv_name Scatter
sv_public True
sv_maxplayers 10
sv_password Halo
sv_mapcycle_timeout 30
sv_tk_ban 4
sv_tk_penalty 5m 1d 0
sv_tk_penalty 5m 1h 8h 1d
sv_tk_cooldown 5m
sv_tk_grace 3s
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add timberland "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add damnation "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add dangercanyon "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add carousel "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add gephyrophobia "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add infinity "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_begin


I really hope I can get some help on this issue as I have tried everything I know.

"sv_password Halo" That might be your problem, its locked. try UNlocking it. Also I have never heard of 'blockland' maybe nobody else has, either.
I hope that helps.

The people I have asked to test it know of the password and enter it in without any problem.

we r?

please don't bump, it's illegal, and monkeys in official SPARTAN clothing will hunt you down and arrest you, and if you're lucky, spare your life.

The ports are forwarded, there is no firewall. Make sure it's 80-80 for UTP (I think), then 2302-2302, then 2303-2303, I think it'll work

remember, go here if you forgot how to forward
