nvm password issued, I figured it out
----------------------
I changed the default 'sa' password for my database for obvious security reasons. I also changed the passwords in the "ini" file for the PSMsvmgr.exe.
I've been looking at the logs for ps_session ps_userlog ps_whatever, and they are all saying they are trying to connect with the old, default, password and becasue it does not work, it shuts down the exe and dissalows startup.
I've tried directly changing the password in the INI file, but I dont know how to encrypt the password for that, and also via the psm server manager program.
Neither have worked.

I also have a question about IP setup for running your server online and not local. Do i use the 127 loop back ip in all the fields but the "sv_publicip" field? or do i use my local 192.168 ip?
and for the publicip field do I use my external IP?
Also, I cant seem to get my client to connect over the internet. I think I'm not changing the right ip in the 5.3.exe file, I'll keep messing around.
Thanks for the help
