When I try to host my own dedicated server, no one can join. I had to change the ports on the Halo CE game to play it. I used PFConfig (PortForward) to forward the Halo CE ports, but which IP address do I forward them to, the router's, the computer connected to the router, or the computer I am hosting my server on?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

You need to forward the ports in the router. Think about it: in order for people to join your server they have to connect from the outside of the router - the internet. So on the router you need to forward your Internet IP address to the internal PC hosting the server.
