Question	How do my friends connect to the server? What IP address do they use?
Answer	They will need to know your machine name or TCP/IP address. To find your TCP/IP address: Windows 95/98: In an "MS-DOS Prompt" window, type WINIPCFG. Your address is on the line marked "IP Address". Windows NT/2000: In a "Command Prompt" window, type IPCONFIG. Your address is on the line marked "IP Address". Your friends can connect to this address, port 4000. Be careful that if you have a dial-up connection, your TCP/IP address may change each time you dial up. Also, some networks use dynamic IP address allocation, so you may get a different IP address every time you boot the machine. If possible, use your machine name in those cases, which should not change as often.
