Well the computer for the server will be connected to Optimum Online--most likely not wireless

A gaming server needs primarily processing power, ram, and a GOOD upload connection(download is assumed).

If you have 802.11g and you place the computer right next your access point you should have an trouble with the wireless because you internet connection will be far slower than your wireless anyway.

The key though is your upload speed, most people on cable and DSL have really bad upload speeds because home user don't often need to upload larges quantites of data.

My friend has made 3 servers for Wolfenstein Enemy Territory and has already made $60. Because there are limited jobs in my area I think that this may be the best way to make some cash.

Would it be legal to charge people to play on your hosted server?? You could get in big trouble if its not.

I think you can have people pay money to reserve a spot for them on a server, but I'm not sure otherwise.
