I don't think that the difference would be noticable between LAN and internet. I've never tried it though, so I could be way wrong.
On my xp2200 machine, i can have 12+ on my public, 10 on each private (2 privates), and 15 users connected to ventrilo with no issues. I honestly think you'll be fine with a 2GHZ machine running your servers. Note how ever this is all done with CS, no DOD. I don't know how itensive DOD is.. I only run CS servers.

Just to satiate my curiosity, how many users could connect? Would 12 be able to be on, anyone actually run something similar? Oh, and Joshua, yes these are those old 5U servers with the hot swappable SCSI drives on it. Would a LAN server need to be more, less powerful or the same as one that is connected to the Internet? I would think perhaps less because if you turn off the Internet (except for VAC) wouldn't you get less port scans, thus less network utilization? Thanks again for the advice.

I run two private 5x5 servers and one public 20 slot server w\a ventrilo server with atleast 15 people connected at all time with no problems what so ever. This is on an XP2200 w\512megs of ram. Are these the old enormous proliants? That are like, something around the size of 6U? You can heat your home with those things man, I suppose thats one plus in the winter. LAN party with built in heater.

I have a friend I can get two Compaq Proliant 1600R Dual PII 300 w/160MB ECC memory and Ultra Wide 3 SCSI hdds. I would like to run these two servers (one DoD and one Cstrike) on my Lan for parties. I have anywhere from 12-20 clients in and on either or both servers ie. 2 5x5 matches, 1 dod 1 cs. I am aware of the `20-25 mhz rule per player, but if I bind hlds to just one cpu and the rest (hlguard, statsme) to the other and a third PC host the php stats, would this work? I thank you in advance for any advice you can give me. I can get each @$125 w/ shipping incl. Yes I do realize that I can darn near build a 2 Ghz machine for the same, but two servers on it? Plus I like the stability of an established server. Oh, and I plan on pumping the memory up to 512 MB. Thank you very much for your help. Jared --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
