Is your network reachable? Yes
Are you using a port-forward? Yes (and DMZ)
Is your console being detected? Yes
Brief description of your network setup: Cable modem to router. Computer and xbox in router
Do you use a software firewall? What brand? Have you made any changes to it? No. I disabled xp sp2's
Operating System? XP
Problem description? I can sometimes connect to halo 2 games. but most of the time, I get an error saying "Unable to join: You can't join this party please wait a moment and try again later."
[KaiUserConfig]
kaiUsername=*******
kaiPassword=*******
kaiPort=30000
kaiDeepPort=0
kaiAccept=ALL
kaiTimeout=NEVER
kaiNIC=2
kaiLaunch=BOTH
kaiHomebrew=OFF
kaiPAT=OFF
kaiAutoLogin=ON
kaiAllowBadNICS=OFF
kaiWireless=
kaiUI=Default
I've port fwd port 30000 to my computer's IP. And every once in a while I can see and connect to games. However, most of the time, I get an error msg saying I can't connect at this time. KAI can see my xbox and everything. I'm new at this so I might be asking a really dumb question.
Thanks for the help ahead of time. |

Well it's hard to say but in Halo 2 there is an option for the host to close the room so no one else joins. Does the room say "open" or "closed" when you go to join the game? |

Does restarting Kai fix the problem or does it always happen? |

The rooms say Open. So i didn't think that was the problem.

I'd say get rid of the DMZ unless you like your PC being a whore Just put the single portforward of 30000 UDP instead of a portforward *and* DMZ. Might be causing some problems you may be unaware of. |

I took off DMZ and still doesn't work. I was thinking about the two conflicting also but still... no go.. |

Try clearing the cache in X Y and Z partitions if the XBox is modded. |

Not to threadjack, but I have the same issue. I've been able to play in a game once, but every other time I get the same error. I can see plenty of games that are open, but can't join any of them. I just cleared everything out of X,Y, and Z and still get it. Would a dump from a network sniffer (Ethereal?) be able to help anyone out in debugging the issue?

Sorry, didn't think my issue warranted a new request. I felt I could just add to the current request as it was so similar to my own issue.

Well some would think that this would be the case, but a lot of the times it is not. His problem could be that the ISP blocks UDP packets from their network, but yours might be a simple port forward. Both would give the same error in Kai, but they both have two totally different resolve paths. dfunked posted somewhere a better explanation I just cannot locate it atm. |

Sorry, didn't have access to my computer and couldn't update.
I don't actually have a modded xbox so i don' think that'd be the prblm. |

Could this be a similar problem to the 'Dirty Disc' message in Halo 1? There's a few people saying the same thing..
*EDIT*no reply in couple of days, assuming problem solved -tizzo |
