If you started a dedicated server, it would be located on your computer, using your IP address..

Other players will see it appear in the Halo lobby, as should you when go to look for available servers to play in.

Alternativley, you should be able to enter your own IP address to the direct access section in the multiplayer game section of the Halo game. That should get you to the game (if it is running at the time)....

To find out your IP address open your favoritew web browser and enter "What's my IP" into the address bar....you will then be shown your IP address.....

No, putting in your IP wont work.

The dedicated server will be sending and recieving data through the ports 2302 and 2303, those are the ports you play through as well, so you cant connect. youll have to change the ports in halo.

Here, someone made a tut on in

oops, I forgot to mention the :2302 (port number) on the end of the ip........

i tried what you said i put my i.p. adress :2302 and it tell me that <your client is older than the server>
but i can go on others servers while my server is on,but not on mine

any ideas what's happening guy's?

Did you follow the link i gave you? you need to change the ports halo uses in halos network settings. halo uses 2302 and 2303 and so does the dedicated server. This clashes when you try and connect to your server (the port is tryiong to connect to itself) so you need to change it.

yes! i tried and it work but still could not find my server.
i found out that it open on gamespy not on the list of servers when i open my halo.I succeed to go in.
But i want it to open the server on halo my list, not on gamespy, its not the players i know that play there.
Now can you tell me how i change it to open on halo instead of gamespy .What should i do?

I'll think that you will find that the Halo Lobby is run by Gamespy!!

I see its been said here before, maybe you didn't look, here is a simple way. Hope no one minds.


Go into Halo

Then go into Settings on the Halo Main Menu


Then to Network Settings

Change your port numbers to something like 4400 and 4401.


The problem is your server is probably using port 2302. Which your Halo game also uses to connect to servers. Make them different, and you're set.

me i dont see my server in the lobby seen it on gamespy could join it but have to pay to join my server so i won't put up a server and have to pay to run it.
if somebody know how to bring it in the lobby of my halo please tell me it will be very helpfull

if you can't find your server make sure that in your init file you put:
sv_name "Snipers Dream Team Mod..."

with the parenthaces; mine wouldn't show up until i put it in there twice... also make sure you have sv_public set to 1... like so...

sv_name "Snipers Dream Team Mod8 {nc]clan}"
sv_public 1
sv_maxplayers 8
sv_rcon_password xxxxxxxx
sv_mapcycle_timeout 5
sv_name "Snipers Dream Team Mod8 {nc]clan}"

if that doesn't work drop me a pm

Mine works like this

sv_name "Zero Snipers Modded {S@LeeN} 1"
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "ctf"
sv_mapcycle begin
sv_maxplayers 6
sv_tk_ban 2
sv_tk_penalty 2h 1d 7d 0
rcon
sv_rcon_password blank

It is not necessary to have sv_public 1 in the INIT file, but it does not hurt having it either. The server will show on the Gamespy list by default unless you make it private by putting sv_public 0.
