Port problems with Halo

[DPG Terik]

I am Playing Halo for the first time and am having problems getting servers to show up in multiplayer. I only get about 8-10 servers when my friends get 500.
I also can not host a game. I have researched this and found that I might have to do port forwarding. Does anyone know exactly how to set this up.
I use DMZ on my Linksys router for Metal of Honor and can host fine.
Halo updates through port 80
Listens on port 2302
Connects to host on 2303
I have gone to Linksys site and it talkes about port forwarding. But has no clear answer on how to set it up. "Or maybe I just can't figure it out".
These things I know. I just dont know how to go about how to set it up to work
Thanks for any help

weird.see if you got any server filtered

I used the same router when I used to play Halo and I didn't do any port forwarding. Are you using a NO-CD crack? If you use the NO-CD for Halo it will only show servers running an older version (very few).

I do not have filters on but I do have a NoCd crack. That may be the problem.
I kept my original Halo.exe so I will put it back in and try that.
Thanks for the info.

When I do try to enter the servers it shows, it says I am running a older version when I do have the updated version. That has got to be the problem.
I will let you know!

The NoCd crack was the problem. When I replaced my Halo.exe back into the game all the servers now show up. I will let you know later if it fixes the problem with me now being able to host also.

Thanks guys
