I have a satellite uplink system that I don’t use much. Should I FedEx it?

anyway i think this is good rest for some of us

Yes, but would the realtime client crash everytime the ip was reassigned?

i don't know but i believe dhcp lease should Last more than 1 hour and 11 minutes (obviously my isp doesn't have enough real ip addresses) - once or twice per week is normal i think - any case we are waiting for the dsl :-)

I called the DSL company back. They said it's passing the line test it was failing before, but apparently there is still a problem. They are sending out another tech to run it down.

They said by Wedsday, but the guy at the help desk said if I call back Monday morning and talk to the dispatch people I might be able to get it bumped up.

The saga continues...

Ah you get more with kindness than rudeness. But in time rudeness will get you more than kindness.

just an idea...

Geo... would it be possible to have a sort of a backup server somewhere else. Perhaps someone here has the means to do this. He/she or their company or whatever could act as the game server in case such an emergency as this one arises... so the game doesn´t shut down entirely.

if its even possible... you´re the programmer you should know

Say geoschmo, I just read the Last message not this threat from the start but how is the financial situation ? Shall we start to transfer money ?

and just antoher thing to all people here that are impatient and didnt play for 2 weeks: hosts you can run the game on your computers too dont be so lazy.
