Starting a server

Anybody who has Quinn can run a server on his computer, which other users can connect to. Before starting a server, make sure you are not playing or in a tournament.

  1. Before you start a server for the first time, you must tell your firewall to allow incoming connections on some ports. Quinn usually uses port 31459; however, if that doesn’t work, it may also try ports 31460 thru 31463, so you may want to open these as well. If you don’t know how to configure your firewall, see Configuring your firewall for running a Quinn server.
  2. Choose Network > Start Server.

While the server runs, a red badge appears on Quinn’s dock icon indicating the number of players currently connected (including yourself).

What to do after starting a server tells you what to do next.

To close the server, click the Close Server button in the toolbar or choose Network > Close Server.
