I've never played PC Halo or created/seen a dedicated session, but its another chance to practice my Google skills.

I googled "Halo dedicated server troubleshoot" and got all sorts of sites. Of note is the one which describes the init.txt configuration file. And from my 5 minute reading of the file, I have a question:

"sv_public 1" appears in your configuration, correct?

It is this value which determines if the server is "...listed on the GameSpy Master Server list."

Beyond that, I don't have any suggestions other than the generic ---

Your firewall is allowing the port used by the server to be accessed, correct? I

If you're in Windows XP, your Windows Firewall has Dedicated Server listed as an exception, correct?

EDIT: Another link I found, while Googling:

"My Halo CE Server Does Not show in Gamespy"

"I started a server and no one can join the game"
