Dear Barry,

Good afternoon.

Double Sheesh!!

My server is a "Red Hat" something or other dedicated server
that I hire from EV1servers.net on a monthly basis.

I don't know how to set that up.
I have a colleague who's a Linux expert.
Maybe he can work out how to do it.
He recently set up some system which
protects my server from "brute force" attacks.

Yes!


Also ...

I tried using the "Delete Selected Servers" button.
It seemed to delete them. But then when I again
clicked "Broadcast for servers" they all came up again:

gamelinkage.com:10000 (edit)
districthost.com:10000 (edit)
deranet.com:47482 (edit)
server4.vectrahost.net:10000 (edit)
districthost.com:10000 (edit)

Question: Is there no way to remove/delete these pests?
A button I can click? A missile I can launch?!!

I also tried clicking "Scan for servers" and got:

=======

Scanning for servers in network 207.44.186.0 ..

Found known server at http://gamelinkage.com:10000/
Found new server at http://districthost.com:10000/

======

Do you know what that means please?


Thanks for any assistance or tips.

Best Wishes & Happy New Year,
