Howto hosting a dedicated server on the client.

[Blackstorm y2k 0]

Well the probs are that when aim hosting a game on mij client they can't come in.

my configs are ,, w2k server ,cable connection on dhcp ,2 network cards at one computer ,1 for external (dhcp + share) and the second for internal network.

one hub with 3 clients (one client for game hosting).

Further ,email,internet,loggin games working fine.

why not just hosting a game on your server that after is the eazy & best to do it.

Nope its the easy way ,not the best way because the gameserver (client) has a p3-600 processor and more than 500mb ram,

The w2k server is a p2-400/256mb ram ,plus i'm thinking that its works better if the gameserver nothing more has to do than serving a game.

there is a help in w2k thats talking over hosting diablo on a client ,but not how to get it to work with 2 network cards in the server who are running external/internal dhcp

 

btw,thanks for the reply

Okay ,,, it works fine now ,just tested with 30 players on the server of the client and the lag stays stable.
