Your first problem, the playing online one, I really have no idea why thats happenning. Maybe your internet cable is unplugged or something.
The second question, you must've gotten the haloded.exe from download.com or somewhere other than Microsoft. You get the actual server here. Just scroll down till you get to "DOWNLOAD DEDICATED SERVER v1.02". Rename the thing you downloaded earlier, the one that didn't work, to haloded2 and put it in the same folder as the actual server and launch that one. The thing you downloaded was an update patch. After you download the server from microsoft then all of your halo servers should work as long as they're all in the same folder.

The Word document called "readme" willtell you everything else you need to know.
