Will there be a wireless lan connection at evo5.
I have not attended a lan for nearly 10 months, not up to speed with all the changes.
Will there be a list of the ftp servers, I heard that it is the only way to share files at dga now due to bandwidth restraints. Makes life easier trying to get patches and shit.
I can bring my AP if people want?
ftp servers will be opened up fully at midnight, for all the linux distros you might require. ;)
some will be available during the daylight hours.
sif anyone would download Linux Distros
hey you get the odd communist that wants his linux fix...
Wiseman if you need help finding ftps to leech of or setting up a ftp client then speak to one of the DGA admins on the day. We will help you achieve your task or give you someone who can help you.

That'd be awesome Phen. Lemme know the details when you set it up dude :)
Burk, there should definitely be a broadcast (I imagine by way of the DGA intranet site or the forums which DVD has created) of all the ftp servers that people can access.
In regards to FTP before midnight... is it allowed? (I imagine there are situations where people may need those linux distros/windows service packs or game updates before Midnight so that they can participate in the timetable....)
yes it's allowed. but only certain files. pm me if you need more info.
sorry why pm? make it public, surely that should be information for everyone?
well, game...... updates.... associated with the games timetable. so everyone can play.
untill midnight, only mods/patches will be shared, after midnught more access to the ftp servers are available
what about personal FTP's ??
whilst on it .. how is DGA going to enforce the "say no to windows file sharing" and what steps are going to be taken if a repeat offender is caught?
Ahhh i knew it wouldnt be long before you piped up.
Anyways
I will be running a program to scan the network for windows file sharing and shared content especially keeping an eye out for large amounts off one machine etc etc.
Those that the admins deem to be sharing to much via windows file sharing shall be asked to either unshare or reshare via an ftp server client setup, of which admins will be up to speed on to install and help setup for the person (freeware server/clients or 30 day trials)
Repeat offenders will be asked to leave, no refund.
Personnal FTP servers are encouraged to be limited to gaming updates on anonymous and username/password restrictred for other content during comps and normal LAN runnings. This doesnt meen Kurt that i want anyone to stop sharing on personnal servers, just repect the network play of others and be slightly forward thinking about it. For those with such username/password protected ftp servers, it will be up to individuals to ask for this information, or for those with a hard desire to share, there will be a list of servers and passwords on the intranet site.
cool thats the answer I was after Daniel :) as by reading what was posted above was refering to from what I could understand was DGA specific FTP's

Awesome. That's the kind of answer I was looking for :)
if you dont mind me asking eater what software will you be using to monitor it. might be useful at work
Cool, if someone could bring a AP that would be great. Not like i have anything against cat 5.
Hmmm.... I wonder if i bridged my 10/100, 10/100/1000 and 54mb wireless if i would get a bit more bandwidth.......
wouldnt be worth the hastle
why u would need more then 10/100 is beyond me
The only time that would be useful is when leeching and gaming...or if u have like a massive SATA raid array on PCI Express
No worries Unseen and Seqo
Kiza, see me at the LAN and ill demo it for you. ;)
Any restrictions on porn?

Pornography is not to be displayed at any time during DGA events.
And a rule.. if u share porn please put a password on it so kids cant access it..
If found sharing porn. you will be asked nicey to password it..
After the 3 time.. well you get the drift

download = yes
view = no
share = restricted to password only. NOT TO BE GIVEN TO MINORS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

et al.
I must have missed something. This is a packet switched network right? No hubs, not token ring? ie Computer A, B and C are connected to a single switch. Computer A and C leech from each other like monkeys on heat. Server B hosting a CS server is uneffected. Unless you're oversubscribing the backplane of the switch, in which case this is the least of your worries.
If machine C is trying to play in a comp. Then he/she should be responsible for unsharing their content.
Obviously when other switches and xovers are introduced you have a bottleneck... If this is the case then the core switches need to support meshing, or the servers need to be bonded. Yes I know it costs money. So maybe its something to work towards.
As for scanning to determine open shares, or sniff traffic (which won't work on a switched network anyway) you will probably do more damage than little Johnny leeching Mr Devo's pr0n collection. Any form of probe will generate unsolicited ARP traffic to all uncontactable IP's in the subnet - and worse, cause all machine's probed to have to deal with god knows how many SYN, ACK responses (a RST is rarely sent by probing software leaving the machine to maintain a large list of WAITING connections for every service that responded). Broadcast city!
Not meaning to be a dick, just offering some advice. Hope it helps!

Search Google for "Bonding" or "Teaming" - but unless you're running a flavour of Linux you're probably out of luck. Windows does support it, but its very chipset specific. Linux does it at a kernel level, not via the drivers.
If you need info, let me know.
I don't understand everything you said there silent but Ido know that when someone has been sharing their files with windows file sharing on the same switch as myself and a lot of people are leaching off them then everyone on the switch gets lagged out in games. I'm happy to have windows file sharing removed.
how about a FTP setup guide for noobs for the forums at Evo
It's probably a shitty switch or an issue with the backplane - Packets from machine A to machine B on the same switch should never be seen by machine C. That's the nature of the beast. Its not Windows file sharing thats causing the latency. Dodgy cabling, switch, beaconing network card.
I'm not saying you shouldn't switch off file sharing, knock yourselves out - but with careful planning gaming and leeching can co-exist quite happily, even on a SOHO network...
They are not sure how to set up their switches silent...
This was somthing I was working on when we had enough intelligent switches..
and well something happened :)
hmmmm I wonder, Who is setting up the networking for EVO ?
The mighty Eater and the almost as mighty Burk one presumes...Xaine knows his stuff tho.
how do i do php and mysql?
www.google.com - type php or mysql help .. find a web page. This isnt the thread to ask that question.
network is up and omfgwtfbbwq, IT WORKS.
w00t!!!
mmm... that google link came in handy...
I will put it in my favourites unseen.
thought u would like it.
