Ok, so I read your guid on how to make a server, I followed the direction and got up on my server list on continuum, so I tried connecting to it and said failed, so I thought to myself: Oh, I need a host, so i tried searchig the guide and couldn't fine anything and I broswed here a bit and couldn't find anything, so i'm asking exactly how to set my zone up for a host, not how to get a host, lets just pretent i have one, now how do set it up so my zone is hosted?

server.zip and the how to: make a zone are instructions for the server itself

that IS a host

if the zone is red and you are having problems connecting to it, there may be some small problems or possibly some large ones

you could have firewall troubles or router troubles

stick around, your troubles will be solved when more knowledgeable people post

Well, that clears up a bit more, now I have one more question

Do I need to run those two msDOS proms subgame and subill

Also, I have idabled my firewall, still couldn't connect to my zone, i also have the two msdos promts running, couldn't connect so i'm not entirely sure what's going on but Thanks for your help, you made me somewhat less confused

yes, subgame2.exe and subbill.exe are basically the server (host)

not sure what your problem is, but someone will post eventually and probably explain it

Can you post the error message that you get when you try to connect?

In server.ini try:
[Billing]
IP=localhost

Thanks man, I got it fixed, but this presents a new question, is there anyway to have subgame and subbill to run in the tray or something so they're not winodws sohwing on my comp, if they are my family will close them, if I can't no biggie, I can just get another person to host it
