The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Tired of LAN Networking SNAFUs?

Submitted by Midnight on Mon, 11/19/2007 - 10:02am.

Newegg has a basic 10/100 8-port switch for $16.18 shipped to your door. I have no direct experience with it, but 91% of users gave it 4 stars or better. If you need more versatility for LANs consider this cheap switch to provide more playing time and less network troubleshooting. If we had a group of 2-3 people with large capacity switches (instead of just one rapture with a 16-port switch) we could set up LANs much easier.

I have a monopoly on LAN networking with my 16-port switch. You must all bow down before me...or play splitscreen Fusion Frenzy.

Last week I picked up a Netgear FS116 16port switch from CompUSA. It was on sale for $49. I think it's $59 now, which is still a good price if anyone is in the market. BB has the same model for $85.

I believe we now own the same Netgear switch, Dis. We are ready for a 32-box LAN.

Someone's going to have to hold a CoD4 LAN soon.

FoulBreed has given RUMINT (rumor intelligence) of an impending COD4 LAN.

BTW, I'm holding out for Cyber Monday to score a couple gigabit switches, but if I wanted a regular 10/100 I'd be all over this deal.
