forwarding the port number to the Host Server.
3. Provide team A’s Host Server IP address and port number to any teams
wishing to connect.
4. Have all team A’s other roles connect to the team A Host Server.
Connecting Other Servers to the Host Server

host server startup menu.
2. Enter the IP address and port number for team A’s Host Server into the
new fields.
3. Now team B’s server is running and connected to team A’s Host Server.
