How to set up the server and connect

This short guide will give you the information you need to run a server and connect to it.
[h="2"]Connecting to a server[/h]
Extract the contents of the client archive into your game folder (where Fallout3.exe / FalloutNV.exe is located). Run vaultmp/vaultmp.exe or vaultmp/vaultmpd.exe and query the master server to get a list of online servers. If you can't see any servers then there likely is none online. Check the forums / main page for news.

[h="2"]Set up the dedicated server[/h]
If you want others to be able to connect to your dedicated server (from the internet), you have to forward port 1770 (default) in your router configuration [I]and[/I] in your firewall (or define an exception). The server ships with a configuration file (vaultserver.ini) which you can edit in order to customize your server.
