Halo Server Ports

[Guest]

What ports do I have to open on my firewall to set up a server for Halo - Combat Evolved? People can see my server in the server lobby, but receive the message "unable to join server" when they try to connect

Hi Jeff,

The ports are listed in this article (and in the Halo readme file):

Thanks for the quick response. I read this earlier and tried to configure my Belkin DSL Router to open ports 2302 and 2303 for UDP. I assumed port 80 would be open. I'll try to reconfigure it. I must be missing something.

Yeah, they always include port 80 in the lists, but
obviously it has to be open to browse the web.

Cheers,

Yeah, Halo Updater uses HTTP to dl updates through port 80. But I note that
it's standard to keep open anyway.
