How do you do it?

After the 1.03 update, I have to remove my Public IP Address from the dialog that pops up when Halo launches.

Now, I can't host games because I'm using a cable connection and a wireless router. Before the update, I would create a virtual server with the router with the 2302-2303 ports directing traffic to my private IP.

Is there a different way to do this?

Send MacSoft an email and tell them to fix it. I did.

Really? From my personal experience and that of others I've heard from, it's patchy at best.
