Who's want become a server host of [MS]Clan ???

No Halo and Bitcomet are on same computer.... ill look at this again and see. what would this mean? at a simple guess? or should i worry. this is a 3 week old fresh install and ive paid a lot of attention to make sure everythings in order an goes smooth.... i had a disaster last time.

Yes i thought that bout pics, i wont worry too much.

Yes TCP/UDP. the whole area is misty to me...

Tell you what, 2moro ill start again from scratch..

something is coming back to me now about name servers and that i had to make sure i get the right one. i remember calling I.S.P. to be told that how could i possibly need this info in order to host games. Basically a guy who wasnt interested in my problem.

Yes tomorrow ill give it a bash again.... fingers crossed.

Maybe BitComet put that forwarding rule there a while ago when you had a different IP (better hope that, if that isn't the case something has gone wrong)

Hope it all works out

hmm. maybe a reinstall of Bitcomet will help? i shouldnt lose my torrents i dont think.

I doubt it.. but if you think it's worth a try

Your server was visible, but not reachable

The strangest thing.....

So i had an idea.

After making damn sure that ive set up my static adress and that my ports are properly forwarded. I decided that maybe if i installed Halo on another OS (XP) using VMWare i would be able to test my servers.

So i did it, installed halo, searched for servers, and there it was but down at the bottom(when you sort server by ping in halo) without ping, now i know that its possible to join a server with no ping as ive done it many times, in fact thats where [MS] server does be.

Anyway it turns out that i can in fact join my own game and play with myself. lol! and the strangest thing is that when i join my own server im (through XP) im givin random player names, not default New001. Names like Whicker,Caboose,killer,MJ........ Now that is wierd.

Harold? waddayatink of that 1!

That with the names is very strange..
But that you can connect to yourself is not so strange, as the VM is on the same LAN etc, so you can't reliably test connectivity with it

If you have a router and you can't host a server, simply disconnect the internet cable from the router and connect it directly in computer. It works for me

well i can host... but... i cant host 24/7 i can only host half a day caz i have school and if i will do a server i will tell the time and some times i will have to go AFK i am am busy and busy like a bee if you know what i mean... so if i whant to go AFK i will need some hacking programs and stuff well thats all
