in th cfg.txt file (NOT SETUP.CFG!!) as nesrulz found (thanks nesrulz) its about half way down where it sais: Ply Name host the "host" is the bit you have to change

[SamH]

Wonderful! Thanks for that, with your guidance I've found and changed it. It's now a shameless bit of TeamCCUK advertising, but it should help people find their way back to the server after dinner etc.

Thanks again, Franky and nesrulz!

anyone have a list for all the ports that need to be opened when hosting a dec. server. I am running a duel optron with server 2003 and isa server 2004 need to figure out what ports need to be opened?

search is your friend.. from FAQ main page..

Answer to: I want to run a host from behind a firewall, router or connection sharing - which port needs to be open?:
Live for Speed S2 hosts use TCP and UDP port 63392 by default, but when starting a host, you can enter any port (but be advised that some people only have the default ports open with their outbound blocking firewall). Some people have problems with high port numbers. They should try lower numbers, as some ISP's are blocking high ranges.
If your firewall or router also blocks outgoing packets, you should open port 29339 as well, which is used for host<->master communication.
