Hi there!

If im understanding correctly the phone is your internet connection?

If so you will not be able to forward ports and kai will always say 'unreachable'.
You should still be able to join games since your xbox is being detected. You will not be able to host though.

Yes, I am using the phone's internet through USB tether. I am not using the phone as a wifi hotspot.

It's ok that I can't host, but I'm unable to see any games when I join the Halo 2 Solo Retos lobby. I also notice I can only view pings on about 20% of the players I see in the lobby.
