Seems like a firewall issue to me. Make sure it allows both incoming AND outgoing connections, depending on router and/or firewall used. The easiest way to troubleshoot that problem is to set your computers IP to the Default DMZ server. If able to connect once that is done, then it is a forwarding problem on your routers end.
... DMZPlus mode is not on all routers and it also provides less security because it allows ALL ports opened with the computer that has it enabled...
it makes it easier yes but less secure.
I <3 DMZ.
Saves me so much trouble.
Haha, right.Quote:

Well i'm currently having an issue too...
I can set up a halo PC server just fine but for CE the server wont start...
i even manually type in sv_mapcycle_begin and it still doesnt start...
It's worse, i can't update CE because it aint installed on that pc and others can't join my PC server anymore... great, just great...
wait so where's your server stored?
Forget what i said, i'm no longer sure which ports are needed or not. Never had trouble putting a server up but now i do :P
E: v1.08 seems to work, at least ppl can join.. one port forwarded. No clue why some ppl can put up a v1.09 server without trouble and some cannot.
