Heh, can I buy some of that crack from you? :) You can easily start up a server, join it on a LAN, and then let people join from the net.

This makes no sense. You cannot start a lan server AND allow wan users (public, Internet). Unless you are running a corporate HL server, which would be rather odd. At 12:20 AM 11/13/2002, you wrote: OOHH and also, I have started a lan server, connected at 1, then changed it to 3500 to allow more wan players than I should. I kept my high rate, and everyone else connected at a lower rate.

Rates are determined at connection time, so if you connect at maxrate 1 and then change it to 4000, you stay at 1 and everyone connecting after you gets 4000.
