Hello, Thanks Acis and hellreturn for above, these worked very well. My server is up and running now fine. But i need to resolve one more thing, which is my IP. My internet provider seems to assign me different EXTERNAL ip every time i connect, so everything works fine until I reset my computer. Do you know if there is a way around it, for example noip.com, will it work? Or any free trial dedicated server out there? Is it generally safe for a user to run a server on your computer with firewall and exceptions for etded or port 27960?
