Download the XW v.01 RC from the downloads page.

Extract the archive, go into the server folder, and open settings.ini in notepad. Edit the settings to your likings, and make a note of the port. If you are behind a router, you'll need to forward the port to allow other people to connect.

Run the server.exe file. Once loaded, click 'Find IP' and write down the IP Address. *The port on that website is not important, so don't worry about it.*

Go into the client folder and run the client.exe file. In the main menu click IP Config, and enter the number you wrote down. Make sure the port matches the port you specified on the server. Now go to New Account and create and account. Login to the account, and create a new character. Finally Log in to the account, select the character, and hit use character.

On the server screen, type /setaccess 9 *Playername* into the textbox, and hit enter. This will give the player access to the admin commands. Once you switch back to the client, you can view a list of administrator commands by typing /help. For the admin control panel, press F1.

If you are behind a router, you may need to port forward. To do this, you will need to log into your router and unblock the port. By default, the port is 7234.

Go to run, and type cmd.exe. In the command prompt, type ipconfig. It should bring up some information. Look at what is says under default gateway, and type that number into your router. If you do not know the password to your router, find out the make and model, and refer to http://www.phenoelit-us.org/dpl/dpl.html

You may need to Google port forward for your router if you can't figure out how to do it from the control panel.
