Ok, i'll try to describe his sytem as best as I can....
He has a 1.3 GigHz CPU, I *think* AMD, not sure
256PC133 RAM
Voodoo3 TV tuner card.
unknown HD
He has a DSL connection.
He also has about 5 computers hooked up to it, forming a in house LAN. as he has a degree in networking, im sure all that set up is correct.
He sometimes sets up a server on his computer to play with friends when they come over to play. we hook up to his LAN and he makes the game on his system.
He runs a shoutcast server too. small server, 24/22 so i dont *think* it takes much bandwidth, he usually has about 3-7 ppl on listening.
thats the best i know of his set-up.
would it best for him to run a dedicated server on his box and the start UT again and play off that, or start UT and make a game?
the other boxes that are his aren't good enough to run UT, they are mainly there for storage and I think just because he likes it
the only pl that play on it are hooked up to the lan.
sometimes he has a game going on the LAN, but i can tap into it too by way of my cable modem at home and play there.
seeing as he has DSL and I have cable, i didnt think lag would be a problem. but it is. i consistently get jumpy ping, phone jacks, and PL. while keeping his server optimized for a LAN setup, what can he do to make it better for a net person to hop in?
he runs the server with a max of 12 ppl, I knows dropping that to about 4 or 6 would be a good start, anything else?
I read the post about posting as much as you know. thats as much as I know
