I cant host games... Im not sure why. Ive tried opening ports, changing them and so on, but it just doesnt work... Could someone maybe help me with this? I mean, get detailed, but I need to be able to understand. DO I need to use tcp or udp and so on...

Im on Win XP

Thanks to anyone that helps

Yeah i feel your pain I cant make a server eather

r u getting ur internet from a router? it it's a linkseys or something like that, it has a firewall right in there. u need to configure it so it allows oncomeing ports. that's usually wat keeps people from joining the game, or at least that's how it works on warcraft

wrong.Don't disable the firewall on the router.Go to your router.To do that go to youtr internet explorer and type your ip adreess into the bar at the top.Then it will ask you for password choose *admin* or sometimes just cklick ok.Then go to security sometimes gaming or search around for dmz.Go to it enable it and insert your ip adress and voila you can host.

anyone ever had trouble getting acces to their router? i didn't set a password, so i just click ok. then it says i am unauthorized...i know how ta fix hosting but can't access my router. im pissed

i have the wrst problem. i could make a server for 1 day that people could join, and then the router just reset da settings.

that's not bad, just reset everything. go to portforward.com, all the answers are there

You should try not hosting for 2 or 3 days. Do 3 to be safe. Then once you haven't tried to host for 3 days then go and create a game you should have people joining in 5 secs.

Try downloading this dedicated server thing. http://www.download.com/Halo-Combat-Evo ... g=lst-0-10

hmm do u think the dedicated server thing will work for v. 1.07?
and umm if it dus how do u use the dos box? wut do u type in?
