i is the 1st to be postar!

and uh, ender, dude, the servers r acting weirded and stuff

[DiscoDave]

Eh? What's wrong with them?

[ghrogels]

never, mind:

one wasn't connecting to the internet, and the other, well, still having problems with that one; it doesn't work on the KVM switch (making it a pain in the behind).

Also, how do you set it up with 3 computers but only 2 IP addresses?

Gotta use a router, and set up port forwarding. =/ That's the only way I know how to do it, and honestly, I don't know how to do that either beings as games themselves run on their own ports. I guess we'd have to, for example, forward the main ip to 192.168.0.1:7777 for a UT server, for example.


We've got a 4 port KVM we rarely use that has a manual toggle to switch between computers...would that help?

[Maddeh]

Put two servers on one ip that don't have similar ports. For example, you could have a BF & RVS server on one, or a UT & BF, but you could not have a RVS & UT.

This will require a router. Assign the router the static ip, and forward the ports to the servers.

Maybe we should just put together another really nice system (2600 + 1gig of ram + big hard drive) and with one IP address, we could serve several games at the same time...especially if it's running linux. We could also use it as our DHCP and file server.

Whaddya say, Ender?

[Ender]

Hold off on that third server if you can Ghrog, I'll have a router for you shortly...but for now, just do the two each on their own ip.

And Dave...Sounds good to me, but need to wait till my taxes come in and I need to figure how much of that I'll have to spend. :)

I think we're going through a change in philosophy...we're going to do the game serving off our cumulative laptops, and keep the other systems (specifically our 2500 and 1700) available as "loaners".

The 1ghz we have...um...I don't really know what to do with that yet.

Would you have some use for it? I'm not offering it to you (yet), but if BLE can't come up with a use for it...

That and for really big big events that may happen anywhere in the vicinity (like seattle or something) that we may help out we have lotsa servers for. :)

Heyas ghrog you can play on the 1700 if you like. Just need the cd's to the games, 'cept DC won't work for some reason. :bulb:

and 3nder, me has not even set up ther other speaktalk/RvS serv yet, as did not plug it in to a KMV or set up the ip.

tommarow i'll bring in a spare router from home , just to use untill you bring in the BLE one (its just sitting around). don't know if its able to forward ports...
