Hello, my friend and I have two separate computers with Halo 2 Vista. We're both running on the same router and want to connect to each other to play, but when we try to connect to each other it says "You can't join this party. Please wait a moment and try again later." We also can't both be on the same server at the same time. Additionally, when one of us hosts the party and the other tries to connect, the one trying to connect can't see the ping of the host. We've installed Halo 2 Vista on a low end laptop just to see what would happen, and that laptop can connect to either one of us fine. I researched this a little bit and tried things like disabling the UPnP or firewalls.

Any help appreciated
