If that's a help request form, then I'll be damned :/

Edit the post to be a *help request form*, considering that's what this forum is for..

If every other game but Halo 2 works, then you'd think it's some sort of Halo 2 issue. You didn't mention anything about a firewall however..

Halo 2's last Live update has not rendered any compatibility issues between patched and non-patched users.

I have XP firewall disabled because I am using a D-Link 604 router with port 30000 forwarded. That is all I have no other firewall programs.

Maybe something with your copy of Halo 2. With a DI-604, you don't need to portforward if I recall, so you can remove the portforward and also set Kai Port to 0. Shouldn't make a difference considering network reachable = yes, but who knows.

Clear out your cache on the XBox if you can (X, Y, Z drives).
