hello everyone:-)
I have been hosting in Winmx lately, no problems except when I am hosting, I can never bring my room up on the list. Which is'nt really a problem when I am using winmx to host. But the cohost wants me to start using ouka chat server now, would love to, but seems I still can't bring the room up in my list when I use it, and therefore I can't get in it, and that's not good.
Any ideas why I can't bring the room up?? and what I can do about it?
Thanks for any input on this :D

Are you behind a router? When hosting on my network others on my network can't see my channel on the list but can still join thru the LAN IP. If not did you make sure to go to Channel --> Connect WPN?

If you don't the channel won't list because it's not connected to the WPN.

Problems entering your own chat room that might help you.
I hope it helps you.
