Side Note 1 : When i try to post it comes up with different language. So i have no clue what section i chose i kept it as is.
Side Note 2 : Game server being run will be Counter Strike Source.
Side Note 3 : PC is Duel Core AM2 with 4 gig memory with AMD 4850e 2.5ghz duel core. ( 1 16man pub, 100tic./ 1 10man private, 100tic ) or ( 1 16man 100tic switch between pub and scrim no mods )
Side Note 4 : I already know how to run the server. I've done so with my current gaming rig. I am buying a cheap pc to run source. Not much is needed so....
My question is all about the networking.
First off I currently have the mid range Comcast internet. I know the ToS says you cant run servers. But this server wont be up permantly, and game server dont exceed the 300gig bandwidth per month.
Second off I am going to buy Verizon FIOS as soon as its available (within 1 to 2 weeks time) and in which case I will have 50mb download and 20mb upload with no monthly bandwidth limit. (at least there is none that i found, but definitely could be)
Okay. So I currently have a D-Link gaming router setup with 4 pc's. Mine my brothers my dads and my moms. I want to add a server to my line. So I was thinking about getting a cheap net gear switch ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122005 ) and using that to switch between myself and my server on my personal line. Since the internet will be 50mb down and 20up i figured it could easily handle 4 computers, 3 run at the same time most often, only 2/4 play games. So how can i do this. go with what i was thinking? or do i need to know more?
Basically I don't want to buy a 8 Port Router b/c that would cost way to much for a decent one (first router to handle 4 computers without going up was dlink, all bought from best buy so no DOD) and i dont want to make everyone else run on a switch. So and idea's, best options, what have you would be greatful!. Thanks
