Hi All

I was just wondering if someone could explain how the SoaSE:R multiplayer servers work...

at the moment I think that you urself can host it, or you can use the "alloy" - Ironclads online servers.

So, I used the alloy cause it told me to, but because i am Australian my Ping, along with all my friends pings are horrid, and thus i made the decision to host the server on my own computer... to escape the lag

so im guessing certain ports need to be opened up for this to happen, but I dont know which ones.

If someone could tell me the ports or explain to me how the hosting actually works (What I 'know' is only based on assumptions) and explain how I can set up a server otherwise so we can have a nice, Aussie, lag free game 

Thanks
