How do I use the admin.exe tool on another computer in my local network? I
have 1 cable modem, connected to a linksys 4 port router, both the computers
are hooked up to the router directly(server and pc I want to use admin on).
I keep getting a invalid password error.... even though I've never setup a
password. I have file and printer sharing enabled for that pc. I have no
problem accessing the other computer thru "My Network Places". I've tried
using the computer name and also the local ip address assigned by the
router.

[View Quote] Stop the world server.
Edit the world.ini file:
[server]
password=youradminpassword

Start the world server.
On your other computer, within the admin tool: Click on Server/Edit... menu item
Change the name Default to something else you like.
Change the localhost to the IP of your world server (the local IP of that computer)
Leave the port set to 7777.
Fill in the password box with "youradminpassword".
Click OK.
Click on Server/Connect menu, select the newly created one and you are done.

Thanks Andras. I'll nominate myself for the dumb question award. Might even
win :)
