How Do I Hire A Novalogic Game Server?

I'd like to hire a Server for testing Nova Game maps.
Here in Australia my Home Internet is fixed to a Dynamic IP and it is set up within a single gigantic LAN "BigPond" so I can't Host DFX2 with one PC and Play on another in the same network.

Is it possible to still hire servers for the game?

i think there was a link in novaworld.com not novaworld2.com

think back in JOTR days to hire a out side server to run, but you going to test a map
i think in your case ask some one who can host it and you run around looking it over

Yes that's a way to do it. Chopperprop and the team are willing and have offered to host tests for me but I live in Australia and it's not easy to synchronize with each other and also I might need to jump online at any time to test. So it turns out not to be so convenient but doable.
Thanks mate.

Bingo! Thanks I hope they still work, bit expensive at $1 per slot considering if I hire 16 slots they may not be used and I need to test the maps for potential at least 16 players mmmmmm looking at it closely.

Here is something helpful, Tigerman [DAZ] suggested this to me. It's a switch to run multiple instances of the game.

/w /many

New server

I just got a new DFX2 server and as soon as I figure out how to get it online and set it up you can use mine to test out some maps.

Just a thought but did you try:

6th line down in multiplayer reads 32768
just change to number between to 32769 or any on up to 32780
and allow it through your firewall TCIP/UDP both.
Target path add (space)/many
when hosting multiple servers from a single location this is the only set of numbers you have to manipulate.
Also stopmem and a member you are entitled to host any maps you want from our test server, it is up each night and we have been testing maps steadly for almost a year now 3-12 players each night. Test server is =TMW=AW2 TEST
Do you have Teamviewer?
I can set you up so you can upl;oad your maps to it , start it, and delete them afterwards if you wish to do so.
Let me know.
