It was about 2 minutes between posts - the metaserver updates every 5 minutes.

Yes, the server needs to be online with an active Internet connection, the Crossfire server/application needs to be running as well. And, the necessary ports accessible or available too.

Otherwise, the metaserver will remove you from it's listing.

Windows, assuming it was installed to the default location:
Start -> Programs -> Crossfire Server -> Crossfire Server

Linux:
/var/crossfire/
or
/var/games/crossfire

MacOS X:
/usr/crossfire

If you're using Windows, do not use Wordpad or Notepad to edit the file, as they don't correctly handle the file format (they mess with newlines).

Install a decent editor like Notepad++ and use it to edit the file.
