    I'm looking for anyone who has set one up or is a member of one to post tips and ideas on how to go about setting one up.:cool:

    Ill give you a bit of background info.

    It¡¯s the University of Luton in England

    We have a large It suite filled with pretty decent P.C's.

    At the moment no games (not even solitaire) are installed on any of the computers.

    I think there would be little or no problem setting up a LAN.

    I don¡¯t relay know much about how to set up or run this kind of thing.:rolleyes:

    The reason I ask is that I think it could be a very successful society and there are good possibilities of international composition (with any of your universities) due to the airport.

    Any help you can give would be apreciated.

    Doc

    Well I'm president of the University of Limerick Games Soc Fragnet. although I am new to this (thank you soc :-) )

    we have the hardware problem as we can't offically used uni systems for playing computer games plus thanks to the type of network setup some games can't be played.

    I suppose first of all, speak with the Adminsitrators of the IT suite, to see if they will even let you use the computers for a Gaming Soc or games for that matter.

    Surely if the IT Suite is in the college, its part of the college network (do you have to log into the pc;s?), the network is there, and you have nothing to worry about.

    I'm not sure how clubs and societies are run in England, but i'm sure u're Students Union would be able to help you out with the rest
