+//NOTES://
+//* If you have issues connecting to the server, ensure your ports are forwarded in your router for your computer's local IP.//
+//* If you want to let others connect to your server, you would use your regular IP address in the server config, not your local one (again, found with the IPCONFIG via command line, or search a web browser for "What is my IP address?").  The above bullet point applies for port forwarding, otherwise they may not be able to connect to your server.//
+//* **Use dedicated server** (from the forums):  "The biggest difference between the dedicated server and the regular one is that if you start the regular through the client and then try and restart the client steam will block the client from starting again. With the dedicated server it won't. And of course the fact that the dedicated server can login anonymously so you don't need the steam client running for that one."
+//* Installing server mods is similar to installing client mods.  Install the [[https://github.com/ago1024/WurmServerModLauncher/releases/download/v0.46/server-modlauncher-0.46.zip|server mod launcher]] in the **WurmLauncherServer\mods** folder and modify any config files.  Patch the server using **patcher.bat** before running the server.
