use a router.

the amount they need. you will also need to plug your network equipment into the ups. make sure any necessary fios equipment has power back up as well -- it should.

Darksoul Wrote:What is the amount of ram per player SRCDS uses?. about 4MB?. I ran a 8 slot css server with 84MB ram and a 400Mhz celeron processor.
what game are you going be running, css again?

Perhaps later I will be hosting CSS. Currently I'm planning on Empiresmod and some Garrysmod.

You sure about the router?. Because according to the people on overclock.net it wont support DD-WRT. And they seem to believe without it I need a new router... so why not a switch?.

Mooga:

You got your information wrong. I said 2MB/s, not 2Mbps. That would be 20Mbps. It's a 20/20Mbps fios connection and according to everyone I have talked to so far - its dedicated. Infact I do recall them saying they were installing 1Gbps lines into this neighbourhood. That's not the main roads.

No idea on the first (multiple ip's), and no on the second. At least I was told no for residential connections... but since my equipment is all going to be on UPS and I have no intention of ever resetting the modem there should be no IP changes (I have comcast currently and as long as I don't reset the modem there is never a IP change.)
