HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

I have a Verizon Wireless USB Broadband card hooked up. I disabled every other connection except the Verizon one. Whenever i try connecting to Live, it says it cant connect. I know its trying because i put the wrong password on purpose and it says its incorrect. What it does is that it tries to connect for a minute and says cant connect. Windows Support didnt help, manually updating the game and manually updating Live doesnt help. I dont know whats up with it but can anyone help me out?

#1 what are your specs on computor?
#2 did you install vista over xp?
#3 how much did you have to drink?

If you have nothing useful to say, please don't even post.

Well, first of all, I know Windows Firewall can be a real pain in the *** for playing with LIVE. I've gotten to the point where I just turn it off when I want to play on LIVE. Sure, if you tinker with it for about 15 minutes before you play, you can SOMETIMES get a connection, but even then you may lose it if Windows Firewall decides to reconfigure itself.

I say, try turning Windows Firewall off while playing. If that doesn't work, there may be something else on your network preventing connectivity. In that case, we'll need to know how your network is setup. (I.E. Do you have a router [I would assume, since it's wireless], are you using ICS, what kind of security software are you running, etc. etc.)

Use some other firewall than Windows, like Symantec. Symantec isn't gay like the Windows firewall, and works fine for me

well, i use Verizon Wireless USB Broadband Card. I dont have a router..it just plugs into the USB Drive. My security is BitDefender Antivirus Version 10 Plus. I tried to mess with windows firewall but that did nothing.

I tried something new by buying a router and ethernet cables. One one computer, i put the USB Internet in, hook it up to the router, then hook it up to my PC with H2V. Half of the time it will connect and if it didnt, Halo will crash. The times when i connect, i can only stay on for a few times because it will crash. Now i have a crashing problem with it...

sounds to me like your internet connection isnt good enough.. does your connection fluxuate alot or do you get a steady signal? and if so how fast is your connection? p.s. thats an awsome laptop..

Version only has a connection at 1.4 Mbps, or about 140 Kilobytes per minute. Version uses towers to give off singles instead of a satillite, so going outside or moving to a different location could helpo a lot.
