Sorry I haven't had much free time lately so I haven't checked the forums but I'll try and answer some of the questions.

You can find FL Admin 1.2.9 here
You can also use a remote desktop connection program
such as the free one that is built into windows xp
click on - start - All Programs - Accessories - Communications - Remote Desktop Connection

A dos window is a command prompt where you type in commands instead of using your mouse in a graphical interface to make a program do what you want. This was the way computers use to be operated in the old days
click on - start - All Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt

To have a system only for admins you either have to make it yourself or use a mod that already has one in the mod. Don't ask me which mod's have that I don't remember, you'll have to look in the download section and find one, sorry!
Same thing with a station that sells all the old battleships, you either have to edit them in or use a mod that already has that feature. The mod manager has such a mod built in with the other mods that come with the mod manager.
There are other mod's that have battleships, look in the download section.

Try the Server Operators Mod version 2 made by Chips
http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/download/download.asp?id=794
This mod will allow server admins to select the following for starting players...
Their ship
Their location
Their starting money
Their reputation (faction allegiance)
If NPC's have regenerating shields
Do you want to open up Alaska and other systems
Put some people in those systems
Add some Nomad invaders

Yes first start the Freelancer Mod Manager and activate the mod or mods that you want to use, close the Mod Manager, then start up flserver.exe and then start Freelancer.
Any other questions? Post them and someone will try and give you an answer.

I Start the server but it doesnt appear on the global server list. I have opened UDP ports 2300-2400 on the server but still no luck. Ive tried connecting to the server using freelancer.exe -s<internetip>:<port> but that didnt work either. I upgraded to server 1.1, but still no luck. I have also tried running the server on another machine with NO firewall at all, but .... youve guessed it no luck either. I cant help feeling there's something really basic im not doing, or doing wrong. Please help me out before i shoot myself
