i have just convinced my housemate to buy halo so we can play over the net but we are having problems when joining the same game. whenever we try and connect to the same server our computers lock up and we get disconnected from the server. we have 4 PCs networked up to a router which connects to the phone line. can anyone help on this matter because i really want to kick his ass over the net

Whoa whoa whoa. You connected your router to a 56k? Well, that might be the problem. 4 people on a 56k is wayyy too much. Plus it isnt even enough for one computer. Okay, are you using the same CD key for both computers? You can't do that. The program wont let two people with the same key play on Halo at the same time.

its not the internet connection because we have a 1 meg connection with only 3 of us using it for gaming and we have seperate copies of the game bought from shops. we can both play online at the same time but whenever we want to go into the same game it won't let us. this is the only game that we have had problems with because we've played on far cry against each other and that works fine.
