Been trying to host server. Have network card installed so have a 192.etc Ip listed on "'Your Ip's". Do I have to disable network card (or perhaps remove it) to host? Windows '98 OS.

Hi

*sarcasums mode on*

1) thats a very good idea to have a network card when using TS

Do I have to remove the Network card ?
2) does your PC has telephatic abilities to communicate with other PC's ? If no then better do not remove your network card.
Don't forget the cables between the PC's if you do not have WLAN !

*serious mode on*

3) do you want to host the server in a LAN or will your friends join from the WAN ?

LAN: simple configuration, please use the FAQ or the search function
WAN: please do a search for "port forwarding" or have a look in to the FAQ

Firewalls are a subject too ! use the search as well or the FAQ

otherwise post exact question if you can't find the answer.

Easy fix in the end. All i had to do was disable network card driver & the 192.etc Ip address disappeared from the ts2 server 'Your Ip's' list leaving only the 144.etc Ip address. Thanks again Guldi. Dom.
