Please do NOT spam the forum with a question like this. One post is sufficient. This is the correct section.

The first thing you need to do is read the wiki: http://wiki.armagetronad.net
If you can't find your solution there, then search this forum. Everything you need to know has been posted either in the wiki or on this forum.

If you still have a problem, read them both again. I'm serious.

After reading everything twice, it's OK to post a more specific question here, in this thread. Do not start a new topic. After your spam session I can see that you are unlikely to get a good response on this forum, so be as pleasant as you can - otherwise you will get nowhere fast. Also, I can see why your post yesterday wasn't replied too. You sound like a bot. And your signature is inappropriate. Make a good impression and you'll be happy here - or you can get banned. Your choice.

Ask very specific questions for the best help. This forum helps people who help themselves. Remember this. It's very important.

More specifically, here's what you need to get a server started on the Mac without an open terminal. Note that you still need to keep your Mac running all of the time. Sounds obvious, but you'll be surprised how many people don't expect that.

And regarding the internet trouble, as told you via PM, we need
- your IP ( www.whatismyip.com )
- your server's name
- the server's output

Generally, we don't like help spam here. We don't like to hold people's hands. Running a successful server is intrinsically hard. You need to provide a good network connection, have good settings, be a good moderator, all of which requires intelligence, initiative and dedication. Show that you have what it takes. Yes, we do give newbie credit before we declare someone a hopeless case and not worthy of help, but you burned most of it already.

As you said Server's Output what would that be? I understand everything else but what how that be???

I also forgot to tell you, I have Wifi,
so my brother clumsy says we can't do it on a wifi internet, is he wright? because I need to know if can host or not??
And also this is a pretty awesome site, who is/are the owner(s) the site because s/he is a pretty good AA site designer.

Hosting a server on a Wi-Fi connection will be rather slow for more than just a couple people.

The server output is what the server logs to the console while it runs. Looks something like this:

That's only a sniplet, we need your full log.

And no, you didn't understand the rest, because you haven't told us your IP and server name yet. We absolutely need that. And compguy is correct, hosting over wifi is strongly discouraged.

Wifi also means you're behind a router. You will need to set up Port Forwarding for it to work at all.

And your signature is still annoying. It's no longer offensive, but obnoxiously long.
