ok i have tried alot of things but everytime i host a game no one can join please tell me what should i do ? here is a list of my computer security programs:

AOL Spyware Protection

Ad-Aware SE Personal

Ad-Watch 2007

and i dont really know if this IS a security program but what ever

AVG Free 8.0

and also i have windows xp

please tell me if you know what you should do

Do you have a router? Open the correct ports. Although I'm going to assume you don't even know what that means, or that you even have a router, considering you have 3 anti virus programs.

yes i have a router and no i dont know what you mean by open the right ports? please explain

Alright, then I'm also going to assume that your parents are the ones that have access to it. Go ask your dad to open UDP 2302 and UDP 2303 on the router so you can host games on Halo.

ok i have acces to anything on my computer now i know i have to open the ports but idk what i have to do to open a port please explain the procces in which i have to go through to open the ports please

Click the link super sniper posted. It will tell you step by step. Although I somehow have a feeling that no you don't have access to your router.

what do you mean ? does my router need a pasword or something?

If it needs a password the password is located on the router unless your parents changed it in that case you need to ask them for the password.

do i need to find the model of my router in the list of things on the link super sniper posted?

Are you serious? What do you think? If the site is asking for your router model to help, what do you think you should do?

OSHI god i cant find it ther is more than 1ooo models and programs there and i cant find 1

you no that your router should say the company who made it and all its info on it

Hes not smart enough to figure that out :(

GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that website dosent have my router model god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*gah i couldn't swear* you are clueless then...
To fix your problem unblock haloce.exe and haloceded.exe from your firewall. Navigate to window's firewall then go to the exception tab and navigate to haloceded.exe and haloce.exe and allow them. Then you should be able to host...

ok i tried every thing every one here said but still no one can join my server any more sujestions? or am i doomed to never be able to host a server ;-[
