Dude. Calm Down. Just so you know, not all mods are internet playable.

if they dont have the same moded map as you they might not be able to join, there are some that can, i think it depends what you edit.

it's CE? I can't run CE for some reason, but make sure they dont have mods on theirs, and make sure your firewall isn't blocking anything, unblock the haloce, haloceded, gamespy arcade, etc. It might help out.

Guys! This isn't your IP for internet! This is your local area network IP. From what I know, I disabled all possible firewalls then it worked.
