How do I make my server able to be seen by other players. I can make the server, but I have my friends search it and they can't find it. So I need to know how they can see it. If I can figure this out, I am going to start a league for anyone. It would have races every night in eastern time. around seven so if anyone can help me out it would help me start this exciting league...

PLZ HELP IF POSSIBLE.


THANKS, Racer Hero

Using the "full client", you must be within the game for it to be running.

I suggest reading the following thread, which not only attempts to explain the differences between the dedicated and full client, but also attempts to talk you through setting up a server and how to diagnose basic problems without being too technical:
