This message is partially about ports.... but will also be filled in =
with me taking out my anger. If you are easily offended, don't read this =
message unless you know a lot about ports.

Recently my dad (Who also happens to be my firewall administrator) found =
someone sharing songs with not-so-good names on Napster - on my 6 year =
old brothers computer. The internet was turned off for a few days, and =
then turned back on with a list of tons of Napster ports blocked... =
unfortunately, this included 7777, which is AlphaWorld, and I can only =
assume that it was the same as my world, because I can't get in my world =
either. To tell you the truth, I'm pretty pissed off since he has me =
paying fucking $200 a year for that world, off of no allowance. He said =
that he'd turn on 7777, but then if Napster worked, then I'd just be =
screwed.

Needless to say, I'm in an unbelievably mad state, but aside from that, =
is there any way to like change ports that I go to things on or =
whatever? It's just making me........ a little mad.

If you are hosting the world your self then the line you need to add to the
aworld.ini file in the world server directory is as follows:-

[world]
name=
password=
port=7013

[rights]

the port range can run from 7000 - 7777 posibly higher but I havent found
the need to yet :) hope that helps you out.

regards,

Lord Vector.

I believe you can use ports 1024 to 65535 to host a world server (on a
Windows based machine). It is not limited to the 7000 port range. The
default port the world server uses is 7777, which Tini uses as well (for
more information about Tini, please see
http://ntsecurity.nu/toolbox/tini/).
