Ite.. first.. it is impossible for Cable to not go down.. if you install
something that is big that deals with registry or other main Windows stuff..
you have to restart so the worlds go down.. don't lie to the people..

[View Quote] simple solution: don't install things. You don't use a server you host other
people's stuff on for day to day things like games, do you?

Also, he said "no hours down". Surely you can reboot in under an hour, cant
you? :-)

Lanezeri is partly correct. True, you usually DO need to reboot if you
install something that does massive changes to the registry in a Windows
OS, but what if the server computer isn't running a Windows OS? You need
to worry about power outages. Does your server computer(s) have a
dedicated UPS? What about OS upgrades/updates and security patches?
Don't forget that hardware can also "fizzle out" over time. Its not
likely, but it does happen. Also, don't forget hackers. I hope your
server(s) have at the very least a good, solid software based firewall
and anti-virus program running 24/7 along with the other worlds you
host. And here's the kicker...don't forget to UPDATE your firewall
firmware (if you have a hardware based firewall), check for firewall
updates (if you use a software based firewall), and update your
anti-virus definitions regularly. An anti-virus product won't do any
good using virus definitions from two years ago. People think that the
hardest part is getting the bandwidth and you just plug in a box,
install some worlds, and there you go. Its rarely that easy. However, I
commend both God Zedle and Joeman that you are utilizing your resources
and helping others in the Active Worlds community free of charge. =)

Well.. I have to say Joeman has kept the bots up in USWF_PBL for a long
time.. everytime I am there.. they are up.. so I give him some credit.. also
he said he hosts..

mySQL
IRC server
Telnet
FTp damon

thats a lot of hosting for a cable modem too.. so I think he deserves some
credit..

You can test your firewall for free at Gibson Research Corp ( www.grc.com. ).

I have now removed my MySQL for the moment. Ans this is on a 'Dedicated'
server, i dont make reg changes, it dont play with the system.

I've already done this numerous times using several on-line security
scanners (not just the one located at GRC.com) with numerous
configurations.
