Need server help

[OddJoe]

I am running my server on vista and am having some problems. No matter what I do, the server will not show up on the server list. People have been having to use the direct ip connect. How Can I fix this?

Also I am wanting to add things to the server, lick player battleship docking, ship cloaking, bank system, custom items to mine, AI bot (so you can hire wingmen). I know alot of this is done through FLhook, but how do I get it on flhook and get it working? I am new to server admin and still trying to work things out. Is there anyway to fix server crashing, or something to restart the server if it does crash? Sometimes the server runs for days without crashing, other times it runs for a hour or two between each crash. I am playing on the same computer as the server.

Anyone who can help, or point me in the right direction...it would be greatly appericated...
