Read the Dedicated Server FAQ (http://www.3dap.com/flashpoint/deddyinfo.htm), it explains it.

When you fire up the dedicated server, you must specify a configuration file that lists the missions you want to make available etc.

In that file, add a line that reads

hostname = "uksfwarlock's spiffy dedicated OFP server";

and you're set. There is a sample configuration file that comes with the server, as well as a batch file to launch the server with that configuration file -- that should get you started.

You never actually mentioned that you were using ASE -- we probably could have saved you some time and frustration if you had mentioned that.

Anyway, I'm glad you got it to work. Cheers!
