When Using dream deamon, in all the help things it talks about using the port and foo.bar.edu, but how do I know what port I am? I know i'm not foo.bar.edu but what am I?
Would it be name.aol:2000?

You select the port yourself then when people want to connect they'll connect to (YourAddress):(SelectedPort). When selecting a port make sure to pick a higher number(1000+) since most of the lower ports are reserved for specific purposes.

Also note that your "address" is your IP address. Like 69.241.0.25, for example.

Apparently numbers above 2048 are better. *shrug* Port 3000 is good.

I usually use 1029 though, so I can't talk. =P It's easy to type (not on the numpad, I rarely if ever use the numpad to enter numbers); the two outermost number keys (1 and 0), then the next two keys in (2 and 9). =D

I can't find my IP address =(
I asked someone at Aol, that said to ask my computer, so I did, but it says no connection =(

if your on aol you probably dont even wanna bother hosting anyway. Unless the byond netcode is so good that multiple ppl can play on a dial up server with no lag. And if it is Dantom needs to sell the code to mmog companies to make millions. =)

The byond netcode DOES allow a few people to play on a 56k hosted server. I wouldn't try it with AOL though. I don't think you could get more than 1 other person without massive lag.
