Thanks for the prompt reply. at the top where it says <!--?xml version="1.0"-->
<server>
<world>
<shortname>shortname of your server</shortname>
<longname>server name you will see when login</longname>
<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. (read: You don't) -->
<!-- <address>change this ONLY if you want other people to access your server as a private login.</address> -->
you state that i can change the address if i want other people to access my server as a private login. thats means i can have another couple of friends join it right? and what do i change the address too? thanks again for all the help so far.
