# How To Stop The Server
Open up a terminal window and navigate to the swg-main folder by typing **cd swg-main** and then run ant stop to begin the shutdown procedure. It will look like this once complete:

# Taking A Second Snapshot
Now that the SWG server is built and operational it's a prudent step to make another backup. So once more open the Virtualbox main menu, click the icon on the right side of the entry for your VM, click the snapshots button and then click on the **Take** icon at the top of the window.

Name the snapshot something that will remind you that it's for a freshly compiled server.

# Connecting The Game Client To Your VM / SWG Server
The first thing you need for this is the game client which you can download by logging onto the SWG Source Discord, going into the #General channel and using the **!client** command to get the link. Once you have the SWG client on your PC open up the main folder and locate the **login.cfg** file.
Open the file in any text editor (notepad / notepad++) depending on your personal preference and then locate the line that starts with _loginServerAddress0=_ and then replace whatever IP address is there with the static IP address of your VM. It should look like this:

Save the changes and then launch the client so it can connect to your server.
