Help needed setting up LAN gaming

[kiri]

Hey all

I just bought an internet cafe and want to get some LAN gaming going. I also plan on a monthly all night LAN party 'cause there's nothing for about 200 miles around here.

I'm cool with the proxy and IP settings within my network so no worries getting party machines connected, but....

I'm running a Linux server. Red Hat. Do I have to run these games thru that server or can I set them up on a Windoze machine within the network?

Sorry, I don't know much about LAN gaming and my Linux techie costs me $95 an hour.

Cheers for any assistance or tips you guys can give.

wow... $95 an hour... can I work for you?

you need to know which games you want to run. then, find a fast server (98 won't do it) and install server applications for each game. Then install the client side game on your computers. if for some games it's point to point gaming, you don't need a server.
