Yeah, I suspect many people who run servers are running them on their own machines when they're away, etc. Mine is a dedicated game server that's been set up for a while for just this purpose. It's been the place that my online friends and I get together for UT, NWN, BF1942 (what a blast!) and most recently FL. Unlike most of the other online games I've hosted, the FL dedicated server code is small and tight and doesn't take much in the way of resources so it's up all the time, irrespective of what else is running and so far no one has mentioned any lag. > I'm glad to give your server a try. Thanks for > mentioning it. Not a problem, happy to host it. I can't promise it'll be up forever, but I'll keep it up as long as people are using it and it's automatically backing up the characters nightly. My isp went down today for a few hours while I was at work, but I got it back up and running shortly after getting home. Other than that it's been up 24/7. Bob
