I haven't found a good place to learn about setting up a server, so maybe this is where I'll start?
Currently I have freeciv running just fine on one machine (serverA). I have no problem connecting to the game with civclient on port 5555. The problem starts when I try to connect to the server from another machine (clientB). I just get the error code:
connectinon refused
If I start the server on the OTHER machine (serverB), then I can connect with clientB but get the same error if I try to connect to serverB with clientA.
Both machines are running Gentoo Linux (2.6 kernel) on the same LAN, sharing a hub, with assigned IP addresses. I am able to ping to each from the other using both IP address and HOST name.
What am I missing?
Machine Info:code:
ServerA/ClientA: 192.168.2.3
ServerB/ClientB: 192.168.2.108
Fails to connect "connection refused"code:
Name: clientB
Host: 192.168.2.108
Port: 5555
Connects OKcode:
Name: clientA
Host: localhost
Port: 5555

You know what? I bet that METASERVER thing is related. Initially I thought that it was for some kind of "BIG" server... maybe not. Perhaps it's required even for a local LAN server?

Does Gentoo enable a firewall by default? Check that port 5555 is not being blocked on the host machine.
You can also check you can get to the freeciv server port by typing:
telnet address_of_server 5555
for example: telnet 192.168.1.100 5555
And see if you get a "Connected to" message. You can exit the telnet session with Ctrl-] then type quit at the prompt.
Good luck!
