Thanks Craig.
I was just curious. I honestly thought there was some kind of server service,
where you could just buy space on it to run the multiplayer stuff.
Geez, if you have to put an entire computer on all the time just doing nothing
but running that thing, it seems like a real pain, not to mention financially
as well as just overall troublesome.
I am not much of a multiplayer, but maybe someone can help me try out one of
these mp games out there some time.

Hi Allan,
Yes, technically. Another big requirement is that you don't turn it off
or disconnect it from the internet. And in the case of Tactical Battle,
I'd imagine it has to run Windows and have an up-to-date version of the
.NET framework. Judging by the fact you have Tactical Battle, you
probably meet those requirements. A fast internet connection and
computer helps a lot, too. Don't quote me on all this though, I might
be missing something.
Another downside to hosting it elsewhere is that Ian won't easily be
able to upgrade, tweak and fix things if it's on someone else's
computer. Maybe he's just ran into issues. His web server is still up,
though.
I've still never been around to play a multiplayer game, yet. No one's
ever hosting a game when I go on. :-(
Craig
