For the past few days I've been trying to host a Halo CE server. I have successfully port forwarded my router, bumped up my ports in-game so I can join it, and I have set up the init.txt file and the batch file. I have ran into an issue with the ip address though.

When my batch file loads up haloceded(with Gandanur)I get this error message http://s288.photobucket.com/user/StuffyJunk7/media/Halo%20CMD%20issue_zpswwq5ywmb.jpg.html I have updated my network cards and put in the right -port and -ip commands in the batch. No other programs are using that port. I have a (I assume) pretty good internet speed 28.77 Mbps(28770 Kbps).

Also here's a look at the batch file http://s288.photobucket.com/user/StuffyJunk7/media/Halo%20Batch%20File_zps7p7r3yvb.png.html

Can somebody tell me if I'm doing anything wrong? Is Gandanur the problem? I had to look all over Google to fix the earlier problems I've been having but no avail from this. I have let Halo CE and haloceded through my firewall. If somebody could help that would be nice.

EDIT 9/3/15: I resolved the issue about a month ago. A really stupid issue that I should have noticed in the first place. I am too embarrassed to say why but the issue is resolved. The server is up.

Do you have Halo CE running before starting the server?

No, I'll have to try it.
Well I tried it and it didn't work, still thanks for the suggestion.

That wasn't a suggestion, actually running the game before starting the dedicated server can cause problems.

You're batch file seems odd. Try this:

cd /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition}\"
haloceded.exe -port 2302 -ip x.x.x.x

What IP address are you giving the dedicated server? Your external IP or an internal one?

Still doesn't seem to work...I guess I can try updating my network cards? It recommends to do so.
