I know I just click 'create private arena' then I go system link on the game and host a game and people can join from there?

Am I correct?

yes correct

Remember create arena's in Xlinks Arenas like : Arenas\First Person Shooter\Halo 2\Europe (<---here) or ... \Halo 2\North America (<--- here again)
Though you have more chances people will see your arena and join Smile

one question to go with this, you said you don't need to setup port forwarding. Does this apply to hosting because I know in another software, XBC, you can join games without setting up your firewall, but you can't host.

Its always recommend to open a port for a router\firewall for any tunnel system while hosting, it always makes users to easily connect to that port and send the client data packets to your host/server.

if you have been playing on kai fine and dandy without portforwarding then you shouldnt have to to host...although i recommend it as it is not hard or time consuming and can save you troubles in the future Wink

for instance my crappy-*ss router just recently decided that i needed to forward 30000 the other day and once i did that kai was fine lol...never had a problem before then but hey whatever

so i recommend just doing it anyway.
