Ooh. I always thought you needed a really fast compy to run a dedicated server. :unsure: Well, in any case if you want to download thy magic Linux. Linux is Godly for its lack of viruses, just that it doesn't run like Windows does. Some have GUIs (graphical user interfaces), some are command line. Remember cmd.exe and DOS? Yeah. That's all in most of them. That's Linux... Red Hat preferably, or Gentoo. --- Or just use XP. Download server stuff from Server Software, but I have no idea about ranked, but Unranked is here, just install a copy of Windows Server '03 or XP... I think. EDIT: To take advantage of all the bandwith you want, google up T1 or T3 providers. Take Road Runner Buisness Class for instance. Be prepared to spend +300 for a nice T3. Around 200 for a good T1.
or u can look in the eagames folder, im pretty sure if u started the "start a standalone server" option, youd be able to run a ded.
You have to talk to EA. I tracked this down from the EA BF: 2 website: Sorry - I hope this helps you...
