The new server have been distributed two ip address!! And the two IP address has different sub-net 🙂

Moreover, I have discovered that each IP has it’s own bandwidth, which means that the bandwidth are not sharing to each other, they are unique 25Mbps bandwidth within Windows & Linux.

Pass few days being server testing and cloning documents, the server works well today!! It is much faster than the old one, and the cpu usage is still less than 10% while it processing a web server, ventrilo server, ftp server & ssh within vmware by running Linux on a windows environment.

However, now it still have one problem that is the networking problem. Since my server has too many connections at the same time and the router loading was very high, so that the server will spike ping sometimes. In case, I will turn the router to bridge mode, so that it can access the internet directly, but there are some security issue there, so that I need to install a firewall with it.

So far, the server is running smoothly at all 🙂

去書展的同日，和記無啦啦打電話黎話提早裝３０Ｍ，約左７點鐘，所以六點就離開左書展返歸。

裝完之後我即刻試speed test…點知真係同ArKa一樣 …裝30M=100M…因為ArKa 之前都裝過..又係咁~

ping hk.yahoo.com 1ms 真係超快，個modem仲要有4個port位俾我任插，4個port都可以攞到獨立真IP!

不過…出海都係唔夠HKBN快 🙁

Shawn need to back to US on Wednesday so that we need to set up the Pentium 4 3.0 Server. I have decided to run the server by using SUSE 10.3 Linux, so that we have set it up.

We have installed the Linux on Last Thursday. Apart from HLDS, I need to set up some other necessary program for example: FTP, Apache, MRTG, Webmin…..

After that, we start running the server, however we have discovered that the server fps is very unstable, it can’t even higher than 255, it spikes CPU usage. In case, we have searched the problem by Google and found that it’s cause by the kernel of Linux. So that we have recompiled the kernel, after that the server can run with 1000fps, however the FPS is still very unstable when the server was full.

Yesterday, I have discovered that some other process may interrupt the CPU usage of the HLDS server, so that I tried to kill that process, after that it works smoothly with the CPU usage, however it still have a bit of choke and packet loss with the server.

Finally, we have given up linux and tried to install Windows on the server.
