I'm trying to start up ARES on my home machine to run AACW over a LAN. In the space on the server startup screen for IP address it has an unusual IP address (71.182.71.177). When I try to change that to the actual IP address of my computer (192.168.1.100) I can't type three digits in the first field. Is this a problem?
I noticed that there is a file "ARES.ini" and "ARESserver.ini" in the directory with a space for IP address that is null when I first open them. Should I change that IP address to the proper one?
I can't get the thing to hear me on the 71.182 etc. IP address.
And what is the "port" setting for? Should I leave that as 0 on a LAN?
