2nd account for server??

[Lyian]

Do you need to buy a 2nd copy of the game in order to host a server? I set one up, but when i try to join it, it says im already connected. o.O

Ive set this up as an internet server, and did the config on the Playerpage site. I know i wont be able to join it via internet game, but i does show up in LAN play. However when i try to join it, it tells me "You are already connected"

I have the server setup on a different computer than the one i normally play the game on. Is this not allowed on a single TM account?

[edit] Also, i had a friend test it. With his account, he can join the server in the LAN (in the same network) however my friend who is in another location says he cannot see the game on the internet.

No, you don't need to buy a second account for a server.
You can make 10 server accounts on your player page:
- Go to: http://player.trackmania.com
- Login with your United account
- Choose "Dedicated Servers" on the left
- Enter your CD-key
--> Now you can add server accounts.

I have done this alerady, but the only login for the server that will work, is my main trackmania account (or the main "player page" account). Am i doing something wrong?

I don't know, but if you do what I said it should do it (it's working here...).

OK.. i finally got it working. Turns out the player page has a character limit on the password for setting up server accounts. I was typing in the full password i put in and the account setup was cutting off the end.

Thanks
