I do hope we’re not talking about a dedicated/co-located server, but we’re talking about a system installed at someone’s home right?

However Windows XP won’t cause a problem for running a ET server.

a system installed at someone’s home wouldnt really be a ‘proper’ server though would it :wink:

XP will be fine. Maybe not the most efficient choice but will be fine.

we have an at home full dedicated e.t. server running xp pro ,do we need a start up command line ,if so where is it placed ,OR do we keep firing up the game through the in game menu? Also is there a fool-proof way of writing a server.cfg file to keep from losing our settings and in what location would this file be installed ?(same question for map rotate .cfg.Were trying to make a duel use e.t. pro clan server with a public config and a clan war config , are we taking on too much , were a little new to this and any help would be great …cheers :drink:

the Advanced Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory Server Setup Guide as posted above should (hopefully) suit you perfectly, in particular the ETPro Server Guide which is more or less a tutorial sub-titled “For A Dual-Use Clanserver” :slight_smile:
