Running a campus network server
I'm sure I could find the answer to this in 4 minutes online (or maybe 1), but I'm lazy. I have my nice gaming box, my PB laptop, and a router. In my dorm room this year will I be able to run a network off the PB (G4 1.33 GHz 768 RAM), and play on my PC?

Re: Running a campus network server
as in internet sharing? ...yea, most likely. You'll need to have two different means of networking ...ie. Airport and Ethernet

Re: Running a campus network server
As in a server for ET. Sorry if that was confusing. Only one ethernet port in the room, with a router hooked into that, and then my gaming PC and my apple laptop both plugged into it.

Should, If you have the port open on your router. I don't see why you cannot.

Re: Running a campus network server
you might be able to run it for a while off and on, but if you try running a dedicated server, whoever runs the network will see the bandwith spike and probably shut you down. They don't like wasting their precious bandwith on video games
