Alright, i dont really know if this is the right place for this or not, but hell, it has to do with Halo PC.

Alright, so i just went to the store and picked up a copy of Halo for the PC. I install it, yada yada yada. So i click "Multiplayer" and try to go online. I join a game, and then i start lagging, then this little box pops up in the bottom right part of the screen. This happens EVERY single time i try to join a game. What is going on? Is there any way to fix this? My computer is pretty new, like within a year or two (I realize that is a huge gap in technology, but hell, HCE for PC runs on Windows 2000, and i am running XP)

What is goin on? Can i fix this?

Any help would be much appreciated, as i really do not feel like talking on the telephone for hours to answer this question. Thanks

Did you download and install the latest update patch?

What kind of connection do you have, DSL, Cable, etc.

The box that appears means the connection is being lost.

Update Patch. I accessed multiplayer, it checked for updates, and i downloaded something.

Connection: Pretty sure i have Cable. The fast one though, not dial-up.

In any laggy game, whether you've got a very fast connection or not, that box appears. It happens to all of us. Don't worry about it. Just join games with low ping.

Hmm.. host your own games. If people can't join your server, then make sure your ports are forwarded and if you have a firewall then it is down.
