When I type in all the stuff to do the dedicated server, I go to play Halo and it isn't there. Does anyone know what the problem is? Please e-mail me at shadowhunter892@aim.com.

You will not see your dedicated server, however this worked for me (many friends say it doesn't work but worth a shot) go to

Settings >> Network Setup >> Change Ports to 2304 and 2305 instead 2302 and 2303

Then go to direct IP and join 127.0.0.1:2302

As for others not being able to access it make sure its DMZ'd on your router if you have one and make sure a firewall is not blocking it

Change the port on which your server runs to something other than 2302 or 2303 and forward that port to your router should you have one. Also make an exception for the server in your firewall should you have one.

Finally, in the init.txt file, add this line:

sv_public yes

Good luck...

I also have a problem with the detecated server... most the time when I use hte deticated server I do all the sv_mapcycle_ "timberland" "ctf"
I spell it right cause i look in the troble shooting guild several times... but when the deticated server thingy is up in a window i type all the stuff like sv_mapcycle_begin. When I am done typing that in i thin create my server thing where people can play and usually is states that...
1. Unable to join game
or
2. The cilent is nexer than the server.
How do i fix it.
I use the 1.2 verson.
Beacause I dont know how to update it to the 1.7 or 1.3 version. I downloaded that Haloaded thing.. plus the maps but i still dont under stand how to updat it. When I try to rune the Haloaded thing it tells me the following or pretty close to it.... "Could not find bla bla bla/dll/string i know what evrey thing else is but what is the dll.string
I think it is like this.... program files/microsoft games/halo server/dll.string
somewhere around there. How do I fic thesse things?

You put the haloded.exe inside your haloserver folder and replace the old one :/ These are the people that probably shouldn't be running dedicated servers right here X_X

1) it will keep running til you program it to stop
2) don't triple post to bump. I have a guide to forward your ports and stuff, go to the stickies and find "DS Help"

go here
