Just try "prboom" on it's own, or try "prboom -net wellsted.dyndns.org"

OK, I have a single player deathmatch (is this an oxymoron?) prboom server 
setup and running at wellsted.dyndns.org on port 5030.  Give it a try (it has 
the shareware wad file)  If I have the port forwarding right on the firewall 
etc. it should work.

Try it and email me, I will fire up with more users if requested (and an 
appointment made as it blocks waiting for the required number of players to 
join.  (get practicing for paintball now!)

If it fails to work, let me know.
