I'm just curious about what kind of computer all you hosting companies are managing your company with. I want to know the specs and all, also if most of you are on a dsl or cable modem and not a 56k

Cable modem
excellent network...
I have many times a download speed of 850KBytes/sec
Upload just 16kb/sec...

hmm....i'm still trying to find some software to use for hosting, i don't know if you guys would give that info out or not, i know someone didn't feel confortable doing it but i was just wondering... thanks anyway, peace:beer:

i've got exactly the same thing except It only came with 256MB and i added another 256 and loaded win2k instead of 98 and im on dsl :) well, that all makes it quite different :) but i love win2k, it runs very very well, If i didnt love Linux, windows2k would be the best os (and it is the best one made by micro$oft IMHO)

I'm sure when this project will get going though

I still havn't got a template from the owner :bawling:


I'm not going to start work on the system UNTIL the template is complete and i pysically have it on my computer

Otherwise its a waste of time :angry:

hehe no probs mate, there was an excellent article a few weeks back in a trade rag about how you can crack wireless networks with 500 quid of kit. was very funny, they were driving around london for 30 minutes with a p2 laptop , a wireless lan card, a pringles tube (this bit had me in stitches, apparently a coffee tin is better) to boost the signal and some free software. they got access to LOADS of networks, sat wide open, you should go for random char sid's and use the best encryption u can get. once it gets round the local high school theres 34 mbit dsl availible wirelessly lol it will last 20 seconds lol you really wanna share your hookup with a 20 player version of dungeons and dragons and about 30 downloads of porn movies ;)

have fun with it tho, thats a serious hookup.

Yes .. well i wouldn't have to pay towards this connection if BT would sake there fingers out of the --- and upgrade my exchange .. to take the ---- they have upgraded the exchange about 1 mile or so away from mine :angry:

Also its my friends business he is a nice guy and is hooking it all up .... i dunno how to do it ....

He said he'd give me 2Mbit Downstream cap and all the available upstream bandwidth available

I can't wait to be able to download stuff fast and play games at low pings .. ie : under 100 :eek:

you in the uk then :) cool. 34 mbit must cost a bomb here. bt are getting there, theres always cable if your in an area.

Wow.. you guys have powerful computers...

The one used for hosting at HOME is:

Pentium 120mhz
256mb ram
20gb HD


Let's just say I hate checking emails at home.. hehe

Always thought about upgrading the home computer used for hosting, but figured WHY upgrade when all one does is check emails?

Heh.

It was a gift from our parent company, OdiSee Corporation, gave us a dream PC to each employee, there aren't that many, they can afford it.

Here is the numbers.

$3986.00 for just the PC.
$3499.00 was my screen.

Thank you.

That screen is INSANE!

How can you hook up a mac screen to a pc?

See this article:
http://www.architosh.com/news/2001-08/2001-0814-3dlabs-asd22.phtml

Here's what we're running over here... not the only systems ones, but the ones that I'm currently connected to. ;)

Running off 3Gbps (Max.) multi-homed Internet...

OdiSee.NET's Server:

Intel Pentium III 1.3GHz
512MB PC133 SDRAM
40GB Seagate 6200rpm HDD
Redundant 200Mbps Ethernet
RedHat Linux 7.2
Apache 1.3.22

(We're rewriting our own httpd, we'll use that... eventually)

INTRA:

Intel Pentium III 1GHz
256MB PC133 SDRAM
40GB Maxtor 7200rpm HDD (SYS)
2GB Fujitsu 5400rpm HDD (PUB)
30GB DAT Tape Drive (Backup)
Redundant 200Mbps Ethernet
(Native IPv4, IPv6; upgrading to 2Gbps)
Windows .NET Enterprise Server
(Beta 3 Build 3905)

MULTIPLEX:

(This system's strictly for IIS 5.1)

Intel Celeron 766MHz
64MB PC100 SDRAM
6GB IBM 5400rpm HDD
Redundant 200Mbps Ethernet
(Sticking with 200Mbps)
Windows 2000 Server

My Primary PC:

AMD Athlon XP 2100
512MB PC2700 DDR SDRAM
30GB Quantum 7200rpm HDD
16x10x48x CD-RW Drive
GeForce3 Ti 200 128MB AGP Card
Couple of STB Savage4 8MB PCI Cards
ATI TV-Wonder PC Tuner/Capture
Redundant 2Gbps Ethernet
Backup 200Mbps Ethernet

And the display config... 19" HD CRT Monitor and a couple 15" LCDs to extend the workspace.

We're working on new systems, but will probably wait for the AMD Opteron CPU to come out. I suppose a Dual AMD Opteron 2.5GHz, 1024MB PC3000 DDR SDRAM, and 2 x 120GB IBM HDD's would be quite "nifty." ;) (lol)

Wait, I forgot the little "work-horse" ---

Here's what *was* used to build Apache on... by far the slowest config I've seen since 1995, but with as many times as Apache screws up the kernel, it's best to keep it on this lil' junker. :stickout

The "Work-Horse:"

Pentium 233MHz (with MMX!)
196MB PC133 SDRAM
(not that the PC133 matters...)
2GB Fujitsu HDD
RedHat Linux 7.3

Great, ain't she? :stickout :eek:

I miss comcast.
Presently using Ameritech Xdsl for that.
