You have to enable port forwarding on your router - and only accept requests from the master server.
Damn thats on my dads pc and I got in trouble for doing it :'(
Extremely Dummy-Downed Instructions for Dedicated Server for WIN
Lag free server on 56K dial-up. Not Possible. The ping would probably start at about 300ms and rise from there.
Lag starts to be:
noticeable at about 100ms. A tenth of a second. Choppy and slow motion moments.
Irritating at about 200ms. Tremors and skittering
Unplayable at about 300ms. Over a quarter of a second. Hiccups and teloporting.
(ms = mili seconds: 1000ms =1 second)
Lag = Anomalies in game play created by slow moving data or the loss of data from computer to server to computer and back again over the internet.
Causes:
-Connection - less than cable or dsl 1 Mbps when "T3" 45 Mbps is best (56k dial modem is 56,000 bps vs 1,000,000 bps or 45,000,000 bps)
-Location - Europe vs USA
-Computer memory - less that 512 MB when 8 GB is best
-Video memory - less than 16 MB when 512MB is best
-PC Processor - less than 1 GHz when 3.8GHz is best
-MAC Processor - less than 1 GHz when dual 2.5GHz is best.
All these things are variables in the quality of game play. When Hosting or playing.

Some of the information is the same for both platforms.
-dedicated
-mission
-game
-log 1
The Mac directions are too straight forward to dummy down further.
1. Open Terminal, which is located in Applications - Utilities.
2. Re-name your "Think Tanks" folder to "ThinkTanks", if it already isn't named so.(No Spaces)
3. In Terminal type cd
(with a space) and drag your folder into the terminal window. It'll automatically make the path for it.
4. Press enter.
5. Type ./ThinkTanks.app/Contents/MacOS/ThinkTanks OSX -dedicated -mission green -game TS -log 1
(see WIN directions for more info)
6. It should automatically start, but if it doesn't, press enter.
I keep a text file with these paths/strings/commands so I just copy/paste them into the terminal.

Also in the 2nd post of this thread (UF)silbarcalis allready has given you the link for the directions for creating a dedicated server for both platforms.
Dedictated server: look at the sidebar of this page, under about thinktanks, 7th link down Dedicated Servers .
My Extremely Dummy-Downed Instructions for Dedicated Server for WIN are just an interpretation of these Dedicated Servers Directions .
