DiluteDCrisiS · 03-16-2005, 07:21 PM

Hi, I Am Hosting A LAN Party Soon, And I Already Have 100 Registered Guests, Problem Is The Building I Rented Cannot Get Internet, I heard you can do LAN's without internet is this true?

how about you look up what LAN means and then come back.
Are you serious about making a LAN Party? maybe trying some Xbox link party first before hitting it with the big guys.

u host a party and don't know about Lans and internet? lol

The facts: ofcourse a lan is possible without inet. Every PC with a network adapter connects (with a cable) to a hub or switch, the same with WLan (only to an WLAN switch). The hubs are connected with a cable to a uplink port of another hub. OR with an special cable (twisted cables) to a normal port of a hub.

hub (normal)-- hub(normal) twisted
hup (uplink) -- hub (uplink) normal LAN cabel

Hint: Get some help with this stuff. 100 person Lan is a difficulty thing.
Where the lan is situated and when?

hey, um Its in medicine hat, alberta, canada. i reserved a Legion Hll, and priced it out,and looked at the rooms and found the perfect one. But ith the internet thing, cant you just hook all the computers together through switches, without using the net?

YES, thats because LAN is Local Area Network.
U know about IP-adresses and so on?

haven't read it through yet, but it could help: LAN party guide

Wow 100 geeks at a lan party (never been 2 one).

LAN is cool if the right people are there.

get switches instead of hubs and you don't have to worry about "uplink" ports.

cat5 rj45 cables normal ones and some switches will do the job. of course you need some servers.
but look through the guide mart posted.

Is everyone bringing their own computers?...make sure you have room... And most games dont support over around 64 players, so don't count on only being able to have one server... You need at least 1 server (you know, the black ones) or several computers hosting listen *depending on what game you're playing* (dedicated seem to lag when hosted by PC's; maybe it's only in Counter-strike source..) servers...Good luck ;)
