usually the tool requires you too rename the MTAServer.exe to 'MTAserver0.4.exe' or it was the other way around, another good server config is the one built into MTA:mA, there you can use the default name for the server exe.

It's easy enough to edit the mtaserver.conf file (located in C:\Program Files\Multi Theft Auto\Server by default). Just open it in Notepad and there are comments within the file that tell you what can be changed.

tip: if your connection speed is anything short of 5Mbps, dont even bother hosting a server. i have 1.5Mbps and i learnt that lesson a long time ago.

He mentions networking 2 computers, so presumably he is talking about a LAN server.
