Ip Problem ...With Halo Trial

Recommended Posts

I'm having IP problems when I host a Halo multiplayer game online. The problem is that Halo uses my network IP and I need it to use my computer's real IP. Is there a patch for this? If so, I need it. I'm sure that many other people have this problem too, because many people have home networks.Thanks,technick2

You mean halo is using your Local IP rather than your external router IP ?this is not a problem, you just need to properly configure port forwarding on your router.i cant say how, its different for ach router, consult your owners manual.you will also need to know what ports halo is listening on, you can try and find this out from halo's website. or you ca use a utulity called "netstat" (an old Unix / Linux tool ported to Dos, its pre-installed on windowsXP, and porbably other versions of windows too)if you dont know how to read the netstat output, post it here, im sure someone will be able to point out whaich ports you need to forward.

Also, here is my router info:

It's a 54mbps wireless router.
(If you need anything else about it just ask :P. )

sorry, i forgot to mention you need to use the -ao switch to make netstat report the listen ports.

netstat -ao

more info here http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

make sure the ganme is running a server when you issue the command.

then, with the game still running, look up halo's PID code in the task manager, and look for the netstat like with a matching PID, those are the ports you need to forward through your router.
