March 22nd - 23rd LAN Party @ Hank's

The critical info:

  • When: March 22 - 23 (Friday - Saturday), starts at ~11:00am on Friday.
  • Where: Hank's house. Well, actually, the workshop in the indoor arena 250 ft. from the house. It's at the corner of Road 92 and Argent in Pasco, adjacent to the Animal Hospital of Pasco. The indoor arena is a big building; looks kinda like a small airplane-hangar. We'll be in the room on the right as you enter.
  • What to bring: Computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, power cables, CAT5 cable w/ RJ45 ends. Power strips may be useful, but certainly aren't desideratum.
  • Games to be played: Counter-Strike, Quake III Arena, Unreal Tournament, Aliens Vs. Predator 2, Command & Conquer: Renegade, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Age of Empires II: The Conquerors, Alpha Centauri, Diablo II, and/or anything else ppl want to play. Don't worry if you don't have some of these -- we can accomodate you.
  • Food/Drink: We'll have a cooler of soda-pop and make trips to town when ppl get hungry.

I bought a 16 port switch on Directron and enough CAT5 to connect to my satellite connection in the house (we'll use AnalogX's Proxy). Broadband for everyone! Here're the vital stats for the proxy (you can set these easily in IE thru Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > Advanced):

IP: 192.168.1.199
Ports: HTTP - 6588, FTP - 21, Socks - 1080

For simplicity, set your Workgroup to 'INTRANET' and your IP to 192.168.1.xxx w/ TCP/IP as the default protocol.
