How to set up your own CS Server for PC/Windows?

[goran]

So, I'd like to learn but there seems to be very few people capable and willing to share the info with those of us not lazy enough to be indifferent... In order to get one needs to be able and willing to give back, in other words set up a server and give back one's own card to others, who's cards one wants to see...

Sammy can only be a client, ergo we need to set up our own server on our PC's with either Windows or Linux OS. There are both versions of the CS SW.

Which files exactly for Windows?

Which steps concretely? How to edit them, how to configure it all?

For instance, how exactly to install the ioprem file etc.???

How to set up the programmer in Phoenix mode as a card reader? For Via2 etc. cards?

How to control the traffic and protect one's server - exactly what with and how precisely?

Anything else, relevant to the subject?

Thanx and cheers!

Well, I learnt how to install a GBox Server to my Win XP Pro PC, i.e. how to fully install the ioperm etc. [tahnx Samot4!!!]:

How to set up Windows Gbox Server 2.25 under XP

Decompress the GBox archive to some PC directory

You must have the Cygwin Packet installed before GBox can recognize
any device attached to its com ports ,so go to

http://www.cygwin.com/

and u will see there an option

"Install or update now!" which u have to click

u shall leave all the default options and wait for it to finish the installation
(aprox.3-4 minutes)

after this it will create a C:\cygwin\ directory and a shortcut on desktop

You must copy from the gbox.zip ioperm.exe and ioperm.sys to

C:\cygwin\bin

double click now on the cygwin shortcut on the desktop and type there ioperm -i

things are all done by now and you should be able to run gboxx86.exe from the directory u had decompressed the included archive

Now the sorting out of the Programmer in Phoenix mode, settings for the Via2 card in it, then ports and so forth... Then I must find out if it's possible to hook my Sammy onto it locally....

But if you have some permissions to re-share the cards you get from your friends (say, A2 or A3 or maybe even A5), then you can pass it on to your m8s, too... As explained in the How to Sticky by me, just exchange the details, guys...

Enjoy!
