Whilst I've not tested it personally, I'm told that with BMS it's now possible to run the server and client on the same LAN, and allow clients to connect from the WAN.

That's some truly great work if they pulled that off. I might just have to give it some hours after VFAT and check it out.

Only important thing I can see is.. "STOP THE CLOCK!"

Besides that, bring all the beer you can.

I spent hours struggling with my router before I figured out that you have to set your router to "respond to pings" (in the WAN settings, iirc). Yes, I know that is silly, but there's no need for anyone else to make the same mistake.

Also, after every "dogfight" session, you need to back out and start a new session. Otherwise you will spawn out in orbit view, not be able to see each other, etc.

wouldn't it be 127.0.0.1? rather than .0?

good catch, thanks. F4 server is still 0.0.0.0 though.
