Dedicated Server Some help please!

Ok I apologize first off, I know this must have been posted at least a dozen times, But I cannot seem to find the information I need for a dedicated server, So here is where I am at:
So first off some background, I followed the FPS Tutorial on this site, and would like to do some testing and get some of my friends on. (Other members of my company)
I run the the dedicated server by using "Game.exe" -dedicated, it start up and all that jazz runs great! However what I would like to see is this, Have the users join the server and to be able to host there OWN rooms, Not use <"Game.exe" -dedicated -mission filename> Now maybe it just me being a noob but is it already set up that way? Another thing about hosting...
When you launch the game.exe a dialog box pop up with something along the lines of "address, username, pass" then closes and starts the game, Is it possible to have this box stay up so that I can edit it? Ie like the address and such, that way I and users could control the ip address. I think I found the script where you can edit these values, but I would like to be able to edit these on the fly if possible.
Thanks, and Again I apologize if this is redundant.

However Im having some trouble getting it to work, Well its working but Im having trouble getting everything to connect. Any ideas on this?
Thank you for your post, Your upper part is exactly what Im trying to accomplish, Have a player start a server, then register that server with the master server so when others join the game they can see that server and join it. Kinda like a room setup.
Currently I think, though not entirely sure, This is accomplished using Torques master server. (the 2:master:gmae whatever thing) This is just fine for testing purposes but I would like to host my own.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

I hear it is possible by hosting your own master server, I have a master server from here:http://www.garagegames.com/community/resource/view/20121/2

Dialog box editing is done via the dialog editor, which I think is reachable by starting the game to get the first screen (not in game) and then pressing F10. I've never messed with that dialog, so beyond that I'm no help.
