Hi,
On one machine I have a dedicated server to hopefully serve the community. I want to play on my own server (for one thing people more likely to join if they see another soul connected), on my gaming PC (seperate machine). Both machines wired to my Billion 7800N router which hosts the shared internet connection. What I want to know is, is there any benefit for me joining through the LAN tab rather than through the internet? My upload speed is a modestly respectful 0.9 Mbit. It would be good to take the stress of my gaming off that to make it all usable by the Server if needed.
So,
a) is there any difference and will it help by joining through LAN
b) will my joining through LAN have any adverse effect on other people joining through internet.
