Create new server
How do I create a new server to play openttd online?
- In the main menu click onto the 'Multiplayer' button.
- Click the button 'Start server' (3rd from the left)
- "Game name" is the server name
- you can set a password if you want (click 'set password' button)
- make your settings and click 'Start Game'
if you set the setting 'Connection' to "Internet (advertise)" your server will be added to the list, if set to LAN/Internet you will have to give your IP (or DynDNS if you have one)-address to the people you want to play with.
To find out your own IP-address, there are several websites on the net, e.g. http://whatismyipaddress.com/ or http://myipaddress.com/

P.S.: Oh, yeah, before I forget... You could as well just have read the manual... http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/Multiplayer_window

English is not my native language, so please excuse me if I sometimes might appear a bit harsh or if I make a spelling or grammar mistake!

Thanks for the reply.
I have been trying this but my brother can't see my server at his house and when he tries to do it I can't see his server. It also doesn't appear on the website (http://www.openttd.com server tab).
If I open two versions of openttd on my machine and start a server on one and search for it with the other then it does find it.
Also, I have joined other peoples games and it does work at my brothers by setting up a LAN game so I am not sure whether it is my internet settings or not but I haven't got a firewall and I go straight through a webstar router (not wireless) for the internet.
Any ideas?
Cheers
