When are we going to put up a basic server?

I have put some thought into this. Little as it might have been.

If Atari/Obsidian does want to make a Linux Dedicated Server, then I will run it once they do. I could probably setup a VMWare image and run the Server in the VM enviroment, but this would support them in making the decision to continue to not make a Linux Dedicated Server. The problem comes down to resources, I don't have the time to manage a Windows Server running this. I would have to monitor this and reboot the VM every 2 or 3 days. If the server piece was ported to Linux then run it I will.

I am still torn on the issue, because the game has good graphics and it has a good story behind. Not to mention all the options that are put into this. I like it so far, so I will play the single module campaign until they release a Linux Server, then let the fun begin.

What other opinions are there out there?

Thanks,

Hey, know its been awhile.  Anyway, i'm gainfully employed and where i work we have a pretty good server thats really not doing anything that i could easily host something on.  In fact, i already have a server up, i just cannot connect to it externally because of the windows firewall.  I can configure this in group policy but i have to add each port individually (as far as i know) and there are 200 ports (5120-5300 as far as i know)  SOO, if anyone knows a way to port forward a range of ports using windows small business server 2003 i can host something.

easiest way is to add the server executable to the exeception list. Then you only have to deal with the router/nat/firewall on it for port forwarding. This is unless your windoz boxen has a live internet address.

A basic server sounds nice to me. We could see if it actually works.

PS. Hi everyone, it's been a while.
