You can have multiple dedicated servers all running on one computer. You don’t need to
have a course unlocked (or even NetAthlon 2 for Bikes authorized) to start a dedicated
server with any particular course. You don’t even need the course installed.
Once you click on the “Launch” button, NetAthlon 2 for Bikes will start, create the
session and display the server status window:
NetAthlon 2 for Bikes, dedicated server window
The following is a list of the settings on the NetAthlon GameSpy Server Setup window:
UDP Port for NetAthlon – This is the UDP port that NetAthlon 2 for Bikes will use for
sending and receiving network messages. You normally do not need to set this, just use
the default. Be sure, though, that your firewall is not blocking this UDP port. Below this
value is the UDP port that NetAthlon 2 for Bikes will use to communicate with GameSpy
Arcade. It is important that this UDP port is also not blocked by your firewall; if this port
is blocked, no one will be able to find your server in GameSpy Arcade.
Session Name – This is the name that will appear in GameSpy Arcade.
Password – Enter a password here if you want to be able to control who can connect to
your server; only those who know your password will be able to join your session.
Maximum # of Players – Select the maximum number of players your server will allow.
16 is a good number if you have a fast broadband connection.
Enable Voice-over-Net – Check this if you want to allow those to connect to be able to
speak to each other (via Voice-over-Net). You do not need a microphone or even a
sound card for your server to support Voice-over-Net. However, keep in mind that
Voice-over-Net requires a fast broadband connection.
Sport – Leave this set at “Bike”. Other NetAthlon 2 products (i.e. NetAthlon 2 for
Treadmills) use this same utility program, so more than one sport is listed.
