I would have made it run the server from the *client*.  That way, whenever you 
want to play you start the client and up pops a menu that says:

    1) start a solo game
    2) join a group game
    3) serve a group game

# 2 would continue just as the client does now.
# 3 would start the server.
# 1 would start the server, and connect the current client to it without any 
further prompts.
