Here's a good tut: http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=24274
and to join your own DS set the port numbers in halo to 3000 and 3001, instead of 2302 and 2303.

yeah:
- this is an Example, you can put whatever you want into the places where i put: "enterstring"

1. put your DS program into the Halo folder(normally known as C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo)
2. Run that(double click the program)
3. now you can set the server up.
4. we'll start with the server name. Type: sv_name my_DS and hit enter. (note: everytime you need to put a space you have to use the _ key instead of a regular space)
5. now to set the player limit which is normally 16. Type sv_maxplayers # and hit enter(the # sign indicates the number of ppl you can host in a server, in an example case, you would put sv_maxplayers 8).
6. ok now we have done the absolute basics, so lets move on to getting maps into your server. Type sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch Slayer and hit enter(to do extra maps, just type sv_mapcycle_add themapname gametype, so it looks like this sv_deathisland ctf).
7.last step to the basic setup. Type sv_mapcycle_begin and hit enter.
8. There you go, you've set up a basic Dedicated Server(DS).
9. It's no problem you're a newb(not a noob yet lol) we all were at one time. Some people just forget it.

If you have any problems just say so.

Oh geez

I thought you had to buy a dedicated server for some reason.

Where can you get the program for the dedicated server>

I'm pretty sure it comes with the Download for Halo Custom Edition, it's called Haloded.
