OK, my new and shiney VDSL line with 50MBit down and 10MBit up is finally here.
Time to get cracking on racking up some serious traffic.
I will be getting an AVM Fritz!Box 7390 as my VDSL-Modem/Router.
It comes with Gigabit LAN, 300MBit WiFi n-draft on 5GHz Band.
Also, built in FTP and UPnP-Server too and a 500MB internal Flash-Disk to act as a NAS.
Furthermore, i can connect USB-HDD's with FAT or NTFS to the router directly and have them dynamically enhance the built in flash disk from 500MB to up to 2TB right now.
I am planning on getting one of those ULV Computers, maybe an EEE-Box from Asus, or the really small Acer Aspire one . . maybe even one of those Apple Mac Mini Computers and put Win7 on it to host some MegaMek Servers that will run under my dyndns account for 24/7 then with completely passive cooling.
I own by now, TWO NAS-Systems, both with 4TB of Space. One of those can do Torrent-Stuff on it's own too, so i can, i think, actually really do what i was talking about some months back . .
Basically do a complete Mirror for MWLL.
Have the NAS download the torrent and keep sharing the torrent too.
Also open up the torrent incoming directory for FTP direct connection i think.
Either use UPnP from the Router for Media-Streaming or install a media Server on the ULV/HT-PC to do UPnP/DLNA File-Streaming and some MegaMek servers that i will run 24/7 under my dyndns account when i am done.
Anything i have missed?
Any recommendations concerning the really small Computer?
Anything else?
Tell me about it, let's nerd out a bit.
I have enough money to buy most things Computer/Network i think.
So don't hold back. But of course, i'd appreciate the cheaper versions.

VPN access? a Domain?

Hmm, VPN Access . . i don't really see the point with what i am trying to do here.
Also, remote control access to at least the ULV Computer is a given. so i can access and use the computer as if i were in front of it.
Also . . Domain?
Please tell me you do not mean an Actice Directory System <.<
I had to set up that stuff three times, and i hated each time more than the last time.
I am NOT going to do THAT here x.x

As for Domain, I think he means domain name
StahlSteeleisgod.net
bluemaxoverstahl.de

and so on.

i have a dyndns allready ^^

I was just throwing stuff out there. VPN access is always nice to have as an option incase you need to work on a machine or you just want to have some friends hook up to your left 4 dead game without having to go through the internet publishing stuff.




Thats what I was thinking of but having universal logins by AD or LDAP isnt a bad move either if you have more than a couple devices and they can all be joined.

No, i don't want universal logins to my system.
No Domain System, and for externally reachable, dyndns will suffice i guess.
Other ideas/comments?

Which version or MegaMek? Would you like to have my hoop to kick around on the server?

Depends, when i am done, i think i will run the last stable which is 34,9 i think and the last 10 developement shots too . .
But right now, i don't have a machine to keep running 24/7 . .
This monster i am sitting at eats up way too much power and has lights and 10 fans in the case.
I can never sleep when this one is running.
When i am done with the network, i plan on having one of thse ULV/HT-PC's without any lights whatsoever and have it completely passive cooled.
Only for hosting these MegaMek Servers. Then they will stay up 24/7 . . Well, 24/7 aside from my 24 hour disconnect obviously . .
