Server Description

The text that appears under "Server Description" in Server Details when clients are browsing for games is read from the file ServerDesc.txt in the server's NWN directory. Create / edit this file before running the dedicated server to set this text.

Hosting Games on the Internet

To host a game on the Internet, you will need to allow clients to initiate connections on the port the server is using (5121 by default). You may need to configure your firewall and/or router to allow this. How you do this will depend on your particular network hardware and software although it likely involved Port Forwarding.

The IP address displayed in the server interface may be an internal network address that is different from the external address that others connect to your server as. This should not be a concern unless others are unable to connect to your server.
