Well, this summer I used showeq just fine for months, on a switch, at my home. I hooked em into the switch, and set up my computers as described in that huge switch thread... I ran those three lines of code, and then set the default gateway of the everquest computer to the linux box. It was great.
Now I'm in a dorm room though, and I do the exact same thing, and it isn't working. My friend who knows more about these things than I says its because there are already a series of switches throughout the building that is making the internet work for all of us 1000s of college students, and that I will probably never get showeq to work on a switch in those conditions. Is that true? Can I make showeq work in a dorm? I could buy a router and try it that way, but routers are forbidden, you're only supposed to have switches...
What do you guys think?
