|
|
| Okay, so I made a game that works perfectly over LAN and I figured out a way to make a PC a dedicated server for the game, and have the other two comps connected to it. So my question is, how can I upload the dedicated server application to my server via FTP and have it work. |

Is your server dedicated? Is it running Windows? Can you be sure it will accept incoming connections on the necessary port(s)?
If so, just upload it (probably compressed, then decompress on the server) and run it. |

So you wrote a Windows program in Turing and want to run it on a Linux server?
Can you spot the problem? |

Yeah, i understand the issue there, but i was wondering if it was possible to have the program execute when a someone was linked to it..I guess not..
My next question is, is it possible to have www access to my windows XP computer? This way i could run the program on it and have friends connect to my non LAN IP address...? |

Sort of, I guess, yeah. The thing is, your IP address is changing fairly often. You'll have to go to dyndns.org and get a free subdomain, and get a program that will monitor your IP address and update the dyndns account upon changes.
That may not make alot of sense, but I don't have time to get into details. Look around at dyndns.org, and best of luck to you. |
