Pardon me. I'm not sure how to go about creating the .comf file. Do I just open a text doc and rename it .comf and paste the addnode lines in it?

Yes, you just make a new .txt file with wordpad or whatever then rename the extension to .conf. You can open .conf files in wordpad as well.

tell him to used notepad++ for easy used. or gedit for linux Cheesy
