Is your network reachable? Yesc
Are you using a port-forward? No
Is your console being detected? Yes
Brief description of your network setup (include model numbers): Basically it's just goes from the wall to my Speedstream modem, which connects to internet through USB. My Xbox goes fom cable to Hub and from the hub to the Network Card.
Do you use a software firewall? What brand? Have you made any changes to it? No and no
Operating System? Windows XP
Problem description? In halo 2, i get into an arena and then into the "waiting lobby" where i load the map, therefore I know my pc and xbox are connected properly....like i said I can see games perfectly, I even manage to join for a few secs some of them. but after a couple of seconds I get a message saying, and i quote, "Sorry! we've lost your system link connection. Make sure your cable is not disconected. Press A to reconnect"
This happens every time so any help would be nice Smile

not sure if this is the root of your problem, but dump the usb connection. i know in windows 98 and windows 2000 the usb connection would go dead for no reason. i think it was a driver problem. anyways, use an ethernet cable to connect to your modem and then go from there i guess.

You're not using the correct engine - it's not autoupdating for you for whatever reason.
