[bf1942] Silly Question... Is anyone's server working?

[Casey Zacek]

I installed the dedicated server standalone thing on my Win98SE box,
copied C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942 Server over to my
winex installation appropriately, and also copied some registry keys
over.  Like I said in another email, it wasn't easy or pretty, but it
works. :)

> Did you do an install off of the CDs to do this? I found a 'BF1942 Stand Alone Server' file somewhere, was about 70MB.  It installed just fine, but I can't get it to do anything except return me quickly to the command prompt.  Makes me wonder if I have to install the data off of the CDs to make it work.  My server is headless in a colo somewhere so the CD option isn't really workable for me...
