Apart from some initial problems with the uplink cable between the 2 switches and some problems with bm-server2 having the address of 192.168.0.255 (i still cant see what is wrong with that, but Unseen fixed it for me) we got bm-server running up and great and was serving in turns CS and BF1942.
Was a great selection of games played, CS, q3, UT2k3, BF1942, natural selection, and some good wholesale leeching (apart from sardoks machine which is just WHACKED) we had an awesome time.
Tn1, and unseen popped in sat arvo and had a few games with us, and on sunday we had a good round of various games, with nearly every person on the game at one time. 8 player ut was great.
Neodragon popped in with his gaming laptop which is a testament to todays laptops. It was playing ut2k3 quite nicely.
the Top15 for the bm-server this weekend was as follows.

its the subnet broadcast address for network 192.168.0.0/24 ie, where a packet would be addressed to reach all computers on that subnetwork. (multicasting, for udp packets), hence you can't use it as an individual machine address.
