Good evening,

In order to configure multiple administrator accounts you'll have to configure the Remote Administrators setting on the Server Configurator module of the AdminTool.
You can find a more detailed explanation of all the options at the documentation, on the "Remote Admin tab" section:
http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/Gettin ... nfigurator

Basically, you'll have to either create an Administrator account for each person or use the same one for all of you.
Then, if you want to increase the security, you can restrict who can enter the AdminTool by their IP.
You can also configure the Administrator TCP port, to increase the security even further, as connections on the wrong port will be refused (Note: If the user can't connect via Socket, the AdminTool will try connecting via BlueBox, which will use a different port and therefore be prevented by the server if this setting is enabled).

Hope this helps

Make sure your server is binding the right IP address (General tab of the AdminTool's Server Configurator module).
By default the server is bound to 127.0.0.1, making it unreachable other than from the same computer.

Yes. That's the fundamental step to make the server "visible" on the network.

If they can't even reach the webpage, then the server is unreachable. Maybe you have a firewall preventing the connection. Also check the server logs, to make sure there are no startup errors.
Please follow the "post installation tasks" described on this page: http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/Gettin ... stallation

I think it's a configuration issue. Please post a screenshot of the Remote Admin tab of the Server Configurator module.

Hi,

For testing purposes, try setting the Administration TCP Port setting to -1 and then restart the server.
If your buddy is able to login after this, then he's either connecting to the wrong port (please double check) or his firewall is preventing him from establishing a direct connection.

Hope this helps
