Can't Host

When I try to host, the "Start Game" tab is grayed out. Could my firewall be causing this? I have no other troubles with HL. I can join any mission without a prob. I was asking a squadmate about it and he thought it could be my firewall? I would like figure this one out ASAP. I'd appreciate any insights or hopefully answers you might have. Thanks! ~S~

Hello, When your *start game* Tab is grayed out it means that you have not yet first clicked the *save info* button. Once you have saved your info for others to view your settings, click on the green button again and the *start Game* key will be active.

Gunny;
Tried that. When I ckick on Save Info, the screen dissapears. Thanks for your first reply and I hope you can catch this one. I think with your advice, I'm getting closer to being able to host on HL. Before I tried what you told me, my first question was what green button? Never noticed it. So when I ckicked on Save Info, I wanted to look for a green button, but then the whole screen disappeared. Can you help me with this one? ~S~

Sorry it turns blue after you save info. Its the same button you first clicked on. So click on the same but now blue button which is positioned directly above your host slot and to the right.
The host dialog window opens again and the start game button you will see active. click on that, launch game and enjoy.
Ps: You are playing FB right?
