This is most likely the wrong place to put this but i am strugling like crazy getting a server up and running, All the servers posted on here i can get them to load maps and to make accounts but when logging into the CO client it does not see the server. I have tried HellMouth, serevenge, korolos3, Every single one i could get my hands on and still no luck. Please can anyone PM me or help me with this please. This is so sad.

been struggling for past year now and could not get it to work.
Step 1: appserv-win32-2.5.10.exe
Step 2: navicat8_mysql_en.exe
Step 3: dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64-1.exe
Step 4: Extract Source to C:\ "This is either Hellmouth or serevengesource or what ever + oldcodb
Step 5: Change IP in Config.ini within serevengesource>BIn>Debug
Step 6: Run NewestCOServer.exe This loads correct.
Step 7: Extract Client (EffectCo.rar) to C:\
Step 8: Change Server.dat IP to IP Spesified in Config.ini
Step 9: Launch Conquer.
