If you have a router, you probably have to open your ports to let Halo through.

Are you running it off a different computer? And internet connection? If so, PM me the IP, I'll try to join.

Dedicated servers cannot be run from the same machine/IP as a normal Halo game.

i thought a dedicated server is a server being hosted from your pc? also i was not running any other server, only this one

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can join your own dedicated server, same PC or not.

But that is what makes a server dedicated, nobody is playing on the host machine...

I understand you and the other people's points, but this part always annoys me: dedicated = no one playing on host PC...does that make ANY sense?

IMO, dedicated in DEDICATED server means dedicated to stay on even after the host/client has left the game itself.
