it uses rmi that is on top of tcp/ip

to make it working you have to change the following:
1. /server/config/config.xml
<server serverAddress="10.11.12.13" serverName="mage-server" port="17171" maxGameThreads="10" maxSecondsIdle="600"/>
2. run startserver.bat
it should start and write in console:

Code: Select all: INFO [2011-08-01 14:32 [08:810]] Main[main]: MAGE server - using address 10.11.12.13

3. 17171 should be opened
you may check that it works from your place:

Code: Select all: telnet 10.11.12.13 17171

second player may also check the same to make sure ports are opened and your network is reachable

Code: Select all: telnet 10.11.12.13 17171

4. start client with startclient.bat
5. enter 10.11.12.13 as address, and 17171 as port

it should connect now to your server
