When I look at some other LAN-parties, I see they always have some big servers. This doesn't have to be some machines the net goes trough(?) So, what does he uses them to?

Yeah, it would mostly be gaming I guess

Isnt that what I am asking for? What software you folk recommend, how to set it up, how to use it?

Hey folks! In the summertime I am going to administrate an LAN-party network. Which I never done before, so I need some help so nothing goes completely wrong. Its going to be like 200 people. How the network is setup is seen on this painting: [check attachment] So what I need help with is to know is... Hardware on the server, how powerfull ect. Pre-made servers (IBM, Dell ect.) OS it should run on. Software needed (DHCP, and other smart tools). I need to able to filter/ban MAC adresses, QoS, and other basic router tools. I dont mind if you give me some more usefully tools if any Thanks for those ho is giving answer
