Need serious help for a serious gamer.....

Okay so my campus internet allows game ports to play over the net after 8pm to 12am, fine thats awesome. Fail 2 vista works, Fail of war pc works, but for some reason Halo CE and PC doesnt. It wont connect to gamespy arcades and I dont know why. Any suggestions?

Gamespy is only port 80, the same as your web browser. No idea why it won't query.

Are you able to connect to any games with Direct IP

[PopeAK49]

I dont know, maybe if I can figure out what every servers IP was....I think halomaps has a section of servers running.

[Syuusuke]

You yourself don't have a firewall or anything like that do you?

[CrAsHOvErRide]

Do a DirectIP. Then we know if only Gamespy is blocked or Halo.

That's pretty harsh of your Uni. I get throttled to <100kb/s (slow enough I have to buffer a 10 second youtube video for like 17s) during the day but get unlimited between 8pm and 8am (no download cap either).

[PopeAK49]

Especially when you have 3 T1's on the whole campus with less than 200 people attending the school.

Believe me firewall is not the problem otherwise I would have messed around with it.

UDP traffic block? Maybe try non-standard ports for halo (not 2302-2303)? Gamespy might need more than TCP port 80. When i start halo pc and head on to the get list button and press it i get TCP 80 (update-check probably) and 28910 used plus a whole bunch of UDP connections used, game-info from the servers online.
