First, a big thanks for you site, it is very helpfull :)

Now my problem ( ??? ): I want to create a dedicated server, i've read all your tutorials but there is a big probleme I can't resolve: my computer is behind a router, and it's impossible to access web admin from internet. It's possible in local with 127.0.0.1 but not via internet with the internet ip of my machine :(
Can anyone help me??

Note: i've already tried to put the line "ServerName=[ip of my computer]" in the .ini but no result ???

PS: sorry for my horrible english i'm french :p

Do you have webserver mapped thru your router? Do you use NAT (network address translation)? If you use 8888 as port it must be mapped thru your router. Then you would access it by http://123.34.34.45:8888/

For mine I use port 80 for web server. I then map port 80 thru my router. I use a Cisco 678 ADSL modem/router. I use the following command on 678:

set nat entry add 10.0.0.4 80

10.0.0.4 is my inside ip address of UT2003 server. The command above will map port 80 from my inside ip address to my outside ip address. So I would use the following to get to my server:

http://123.34.34.45:80/ (you must substitute your real outside ip address where it say's 123.34.34.45)

Hope this helped some.
