halo 2?

[boardordi3]

okay what i do a lot is go on WoW(world of warcraft) and play with my friends, but ill join a halo2 game so i can use it for a voice channel, now sometimes when i try to join someones party ill get the "we are having network problems, sorry about that" i think its because im using a lot of bandwith on WoW, anyone know a way to help this out or make it work?

Have you ever tried Ventrilo, or Team Speak for talking? They're both free, and then you wouldn't have to go on Halo for a voice channel.

[hascet]

Its free for download, and you can make a server if you want where other people can connect and talk...but sometimes online game servers such as Enemy Territory have there own team speak ip and you just connect to that

Like I said up there, it has nothing to do with WoW, this happens sometimes... I play halo 2 alot

[boardordi3]

well this happens everytime and i cant join matchmaking either, nothing works i cant join games

[Captain Pooka]

does it say they cant find a match for you or what? whats the message? and you might want to take this up with bungie.. call them or something...

[boardordi3]

it says "we are having network problems, sorry about that"

[Captain Pooka]

even in matchmaking? I assume that you have 2 NICs modem- computer and computer-Xbox? make sure the cable going to your xbox is a cross over cable, and make sure you have your connections properly bridged... and if you have tried bridging then you have zonealarm. if you have your trusted or internet zone security on high when you log on or before you go into matchmaking, this will happen.

i just called bungie/m$oft, they said to try a different disc, now i gotta get my friend over here to lemme try his disc

[Captain Pooka]

I honestly doubt thats your problem
