Title: KnacK's New Server
Post by: KnacK on September 08, 2007, 11:01:33 PM: OK Guys, and Scope.

I'm testing a new server here at the house. It is currently showing up on the server browser.

I highly suggest that you don't try to connect to it ( gg CrazyLady :p ) as it is sitting on my local LAN in the DMZ. Yes you can connect to it but remember I am on dial-up.

Currently we are testing 30+ bots on it running through a map rotation similar to GT Pub1.

Hopefully Monday or Tuesday I will move it over to my T1 at the office and make it a permanent server.

For all of those interested, here are the specs:
Compaq Proliant DL360
Dual Xeon 1.8 gig CPU's
512 meg mem
2x 18 gig 10k SCSI drives in RAID 1

For all you old timers out there, this is 10x the machine that the SnowSTORM server was that ran 3 dp servers and 3 CS servers. I only plan on running one server for now to see how it performs.

I will keep everyone posted.

If you want to suggest a map rotation, post your thoughts here.

So KnacK how did you finally get that error to stop showing up?

I set the gren settings identical to GT pub 1 settings and all is well. There are actually 2 EXTERNAL players on teh server right now pinging about 300. roflcopter hehehehehe.

If this server proves to be stable enough, I'll add a second one for that.

Title: Re: KnacK's New Server
Post by: KnacK on September 14, 2007, 08:02:38 PM: Tuff!

Aint gonna happen!

Well, I spent the last 3 hours working on the server at the office and all I can say is " Dynamic NAT can suck my nutz!"
It looks liek I'm going to have to put the server in front of the firewall and set up ipchains for protection. I'm going to have to do this anyway for my Polycom system so might as well do it now.

I'll keep you all updated.
Title: Re: KnacK's New Server
Post by: KnacK on September 18, 2007, 06:56:49 PM: FINALLY!!!!

OK here ya go:

69.153.214.246:27910 and 27920

I am actually doing this to test firewall rules for my video conferencing installation this week.

I've got some pretty exotic stuff installed and nothing better to test it with than a DP SERVER!

Go for it!

Keep me posted.

Title: Re: KnacK's New Server
Post by: loial21 on September 26, 2007, 02:51:43 AM: Edge? There is a problem.

I have consistently been checking on my end and its as expected below 35 and zero packet loss. Your results should be higher (of course) but consistant with all three servers below:

EV1 / GT / Knack's
35ms 35ms 35ms

What is your compairson?

Knack you silly old and smelly smurf congradts.
Title: Re: KnacK's New Server
Post by: Edgecrusher on September 26, 2007, 06:32:03 AM: What can I say? T-com sucks.

Title: Re: KnacK's New Server
Post by: y00tz on September 26, 2007, 09:08:12 AM: Any particular reason why I shouldn't be seeing your servers KnacK?
Title: Re: KnacK's New Server
Post by: KnacK on September 26, 2007, 09:28:00 AM: 69.153.214.246:27910 and 27920

They show in the in game browser and the stand alone browser.
Title: Re: KnacK's New Server
Post by: y00tz on September 26, 2007, 12:57:53 PM: What's the name of the servers? To be honest, I looked at the names and didn't see any instant clues, then I went through my server browser several times and never saw you listed as an admin on any.
Title: Re: KnacK's New Server
