I don't want to provide any misinformation so won't try to answer in too much detail but this is a very veyr helpful thread for llamaserver

As for getting into a game you have the players email in their pretenders to the game. (more detail than that and that FAQ thread is fantastic.)

Well, my friends keep getting a red screen whenever they try to join a server i make.Does that help?

The Llamaserver is for play by email games.
Doesn't sound like that's what you are looking for.

Page 32 of the manual tells you everything you should need to setup a multiplayer game.

Have your friend connect to the ip adress shown there

Haven't heard about red screens, but I haven't tried many tcp/ip games to be honest.

I think Gandalf Parker has servers for hosting blitz style, connect to Ip games, but as Redeyes said Llamaserver is purely play by email
