I need help in configuring my RO client to be able to connect to my server. First of all please treat me as a newbie. Second, the last time I play RO probably a year ago and the last emulator that I have at least tried to play around is eathena (long long long ago). I do read, search and find both in Google, Hercules Wiki and This Forum for informations, but there is so many random things that makes me wonder what am I looking at exactly. So.. kind members please do help this poor guy.

• My Private Server was setup in a server located somewhere, with a panel that can access all the server files - https://www.dropbox....jb/ropanel1.jpg
• All three server are online - Login, Char & Map.
• Server side was setup by my hosting provider.
• I do not want to trouble them with question regarding client side - because I want to learn many things myself and I want to refrain from asking them silly question like - What is this? What is that?
• My problem as I indicate in the title - How do I connect to this server they created for me?

Here what I have done.

• Downloaded latest kRO installation and the small client package.
• Created clientinfo,xml and fill in the settings according to the instruction in here.
• Use the provided hercules.exe but it says failed to connect to server (upon login)
• Tried to follow the instruction here but stuck at Client Side - Diff your client (No idea what does this mean)

Well that pretty much it for now. Before you guys start to bash me (just saying), the reason why I want to do everything by myself is because I want to make this RO server as my own playground. So I can learn how to design maps, items, scripts, - everything that will make me perfect my own server. Its a playground to improve my skills. I found out that Hercules is the newest emulator with the most active community - which is why I requested for it upon server setup.

Waiting for many-many helpful comments! Thanks.
