I still don't understand why you want to connect these 16 PC's up to external internet servers, I take it this is going to be a business? A cheapish PC running the game server *inside* your LAN would give everyone a much faster, reliable and enjoyable gaming experience, is there some reason why this isn't viable? If you want to play against others outside your network, let them connect to your server for clan matches or whatever, using a secondary ADSL connection and let them live with the bandwidth limitations ;-) Then use the ADSL for normal browsing as you suggested. -- Adam Edwards www.gmn.com
