sam,

I'm actually looking at setting one up at the moment, i'm going to try out a couple of things later when i get back from work. also the teamspeak server would be very useful.

I'll let you all know how it goes later on today.

Hi Sam and Nemo,
Sam that would be a really good idea. (Then we wouldn't have to invade WSP's servers! :D)

Nemo, if you need any help with the server setup, just ask and I can try and help. ;) Good luck with setting it up! 8)

Hey this sounds great !!
Nemo let me know if I can help you.

I will gather some informations regarding the FSNavigator thing.

cheers

edit: Looks like FSNavigator is just an Option on the FSHost
Server that must be enabled + the ports on that server must be open.

Another question.. anyone got experience in setting up a CFS 2 or 3 Server ?

Can it not be done on non windows? Running  windows on a web server is asking for trouble - it's just not up to anything - creates so many temp files & needs rebooting all the time. In short windows is not an efficient OS.

There must be a way with Linux/Freebsd/Unix ....

That was my first idea, too. But I searched the web,
asked here on simv and on other forums. And so far noone
seems to have a non-windows solution. Well I
