Eoi: Lan Day

[Cubes]

Hey ppls,

There was a little discusion in the computer discussion thread a while back regarding a lan day.

Usual bf2 and a few other games *suggestions*, maybe a bit of a blast from the past with duke nukem 3d, doom, wolfenstein (ok maybe not that far back) etc.

It 'probably' won't be for some time yet but just for interest sake how many ppls would be keen?

Also.. Who is able to bring a 2/3/4 port router along with them?

I have a little linux box that is able to handle 7 users and I also have a 4port router.

I haven't played with this type of network setup too much so I really don't have much of an idea how it will perform if I hang multiple routers off the linux box's ports.

If push comes to shove I may just shell out for a cheap 16port router such as the following.

They go for $67, if it will do the job for gaming.. I would think so.

Any suggestions/experience here would be helpfull.

An interesting little write up for those interested.

Live For Speed

Battle Field 2

Sounds good to me buddy! Got a 16 port router here for when I used to hold LAN's at my place, I'd be happy to bring that along. A game of Generals or two sounds good, I've been craving it since I've been seeing a lot of C&C3 stuff lately

[Cubes]

16port should do the trick nicely.

I've done a few measurements and the most I can fit comfortably would be 14.

[Tangles]

MajorTangles (BF2) will knife you all.................

Ive got a 4port usb Netcomm 1300plus4 adsl router ?

[heslo]

Well you can definitely count me in then! I might have a friend or two that would like to come, obviously SAU members come first but if we need to make up some numbers, mind if they tag along?

[Busky2k]

Yeah I'd be down for this. Old skool gaming FTW! Wolfenstein would be a cracker!

No need for your 4 port modem/routers ppls.. A 16 port will do the trick.

So far from SAU it looks as if we have 8ppls.

[Whiplash]

i'd be up for it. used to have lans all the time at school.

i have some experience in all the wiring if ya need some help.

[GFXman]

I'd come along to one of these
