I read that you can run DF as a service under XP but not how to do that (I just have installed XP so :D )
Can someone give me some tips + why doesnt the client connect to the Internet himself (he can't) I think I have to set something up for it but don't know where/what.
In win98 he did it himself but now with XP :( (yep, I need to learn :) )

ps, other tips about XP are also usefull :)

I stole that part from the DF site, and put it here (http://users.rcn.com/billsarahb/dfservice.doc)
Hope that helps!

<edit> the reason I did it that way, was because the page it was on was miles long, and it was stuck in there in the middle. :D

I had looked a few times until I found it, that's why I copied it and stuck it on my netspace. It was a real bugger!

Maybe it's because it's such a long read, you're sleeping by the time you come to that piece of info :D
