Game Server Help Please
Okay not sure wich area this should have went into as I've never ran a public game server before....and just wanted an oppinion on it.I want to run games like quake 3, counterstrike, etc etc... as a public server for my site but if I host it with someone else on say a linux server do I need to have ssh and install it that way or can I just say set it up on my 2003 pro server or linux server here *prefferably my 2003 server* and run it off my cable account. If so say I am using a linksys 4 port router how do I set a ip address that does'nt change up since with cable internet they don't offer static ip's etc??? I mean I would be fine for a while since I've had same ip address for several months even with cable

Basically just need oppinion wether to host it here of my own machine or with a hosting company? And if with a hosting company has anyone here ever set a game server up and know any good sites on how to do so ??
