there is no way to set up a dedicated server. this is ridiculous. most multiplayer games have the ability for one machine to be just the dedicated host. BF1942, Counter-Strike, Quake 3 all have the ability to have a machine run as a dedicated host. i would love to have one of my extra machines be a dedicated server, it is on all the time anyway, but no, i can't because it needs a serial to install, and you have to have joystick. if greatplanes put out a standalone, dedicated server, i think that would definately help out the multiplayer portion. come on greatplanes/knifeedge get with the multiplayer program!!!
