JOINING SERVERS!!!!

RaVNzCRoFT · Post by **RaVNzCRoFT** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 3:03 pm

I don't know what the problem is. When I try to join my friend's server, Halo reattempts to join it 4 times and then it says Unable to join server. He can join my server, but I can't join his. He even tried disabling his firewall, and it still didn't work. He has a custom made computer that he made hisself, but I don't think that is the problem. I think if you can make a computer yourself, then it will work. I just have no idea what the problem could be...Maybe someone knows. All help would be appreciated...Thanks a lot.

P.S. Almost a Jackal

Sometimes modems have an in build firewall, it are routers then really.

I am having the same problem you need to go in and program your router by following the instructions given to you or if the cable company gave it to you call them up and have them come and fix it free of charge

yes most likely you need to have cable company reprogram his router
