i cant believe people use skype as a voice chat for gaming now days lol. try http://www.teamspeak.com

thats the thing you think too ridgid, when i post my tut all will be clear. good for you. but many people want to learn, and i will simply teach people who do not have detailed info about running a server too many people like your self think of a server as a dead wait or something that will only do the one thing. My server is for my company as well as my email , media server , file server , web server, and minecraft server, Ts3 server. thus i have spent big bucks, on my hardware, but i will teach people how to utilise what they got to get the full use out of it. you know multi-player is ment for more then 2-4 people!! so realistically you not host a server. "no offence" but it is a fact this tutorial is for people who want to host for say a community well at leased more then 4 people. Most of all this guys post was regarding Servers. i will not reply back as i will be spending my free time writing this tutorial for people who wish to learn how to do a semi professional job out of what hardware they have or could get easly, software is another story but anyone has the power to get software.

if you read what i was saying i said you can use a desktop, but just not rely on the built in network chip, and not run on windows, especially if you want to use all your cores. its all about configuration, if you want a server then build it like a server using server software and server config, if you want some laggy server then put minecraft on your desktop computer that you use to play minecraft at same time thats not a server.

guys calm down its simple dont run your servers on windows. please wait for my turtorial on building a server for tekkit or any other minecraft server, there is a way around and its simple, i will be writing this tomorrow in the Tekkit forums, i will even write all the commands you need, for java install and everything else, plus a simple way to grab your files and run backups the lot. Windows is not a bad OS, its a better option then mac due to the fact it runs everything and you can run things how you like and do what you want your way but that can get some people into trouble, but running a server on windows even Windows Server 2010 ect is not the best option. 1. windows like many other desktop OS, have limits, one of those limits is concurrent connections, you may know if your a torrentor about this, but even if you use the modded TCP/IP.Sys file there is still a limit and this will slow down your network traffic, "M$ used this tactic to slow the spreed of network virus that can flood a network with its spawn. 2. Windows can do multi-threaded or multi-core or even some versions do physical multi-processors , with multi-core how ever its not built with that in mind so the manager or kernal is not efficiant. 3. The file System is well not the best but gets the job done NTFS is a good file system but it has its flaws especially with running anything to do with servers. 3. what is the difference between a server and desktop ? simple a server is built to have large bandwidth and to be able to multi-task, where your desktop is really made for the user, that is not to say you cant use a desktop as a server, but will not be as good as a nice serverboard with the host controllers and extra lanes to handle more bandwidth, second thing is servers are built to crunch numbers, your desktop is built for this too , but it does different number crunching i.e your GPU would do nothing for a server. well at leased for most types. the final thing is network cards, or even onboard network chips. if you have a desktop board, use a network card you will find that will be better and less load on your system. software side, a true server OS is not pretty, it not have a gui, *desktop* you will be shocked at how much power that takes from your cpu , even with a graphics card, and ram it uses. So please wait till tomorrow for my tut on Tekkit server, i will do my best to explain and help all of you guys out, plus show you some solutions i have for minecraft and tekkit. My server Spec. Intel 2600CP2 Motherboard, Dual I3 Network card, Dual Xeon E5-2620 "6 core per cpu" 64GB Quad Kit ECC 1600Mhz ram per cpu. = 24 threads for tekkit to rape. HOST OS Vmware ESX 5.0 build 623860 Guest OS for Tekkit Server, Ubuntu Server 64bit 10.x Sun Java 7.xx 64bit! but with all that the lag for me is my Internet Connection in Australia ATM. getting Midband Ethernet 100mb 1:1 soon. so guys please wait for my tutorial on Tekkit Server Install, i will try my best to get you from no server to Real Server status, that will take over the world hahahahahahaha..... plus i will even add, data to show the difference between a Windows gui vs a linux Console server, plus how vmware ESX will let even minecraft use all the threads you can afford to give. PS yes Vmware is something you buy but i can give you guys a link that will get you the educational version for FREEEEEEE. Provided you not make money using there software they not really mind. In short, there is a way around anything, just got to know the tricks.

that will work or you could be insaine like my self, use a solar > glass fibre > MFSU > glass fibre > spliter cable > machines. first use a repeater on a block to match the spliter cable and the repeater facing to give the spliter cable a signal from the repeater as this will be connected to a simple lever or some cable toggle latch and button ect, this would be used like a fuse or switch to kill power to your machines. secondly make sure you use the upgrade slots on the right of the macerators, there is 4 slots put in the following, transformer upgrade, overclocker, storage upgrade. you will find you would need less macerators for what ever machine your making. why all this? simple you can never have too much power, you can use less macenrators due to the upgrades you made , you will not run out of power with a MFSU. if you want to really be crazy you can even hook up a Industrial panel to your MFE or MFSU by using the energy sensor kit, this will show you how much your using and how much is stored, use a invertor split off the same cable you run to the repeater in the setup above and after the invertor run the cable to your Industrial Information Panel so it will turn on and light up when your devices are setup. Enjoy.

i had same issues, theprolo has a good link and it explained all but after reading what was needed to be done ect, you know what i am happy to wait for the next version of tekkit and will not upgrade to 3.1.3, there is only 3 mods added with some sexy turtles and some other things but you will get that in the next version of tekkit plus with the updated minecraft.
