    He has merely said the same as the two owners: if you have a longer Ethernet cable, bring it. Better safe than sorry. We've consistently been sorry we didn't have a few more. Zip tie the slack if everything goes perfectly.

    lol.... I'm just saying with what we have planned 50' is not needed even as a precaution.

    But hey what do I know right?

    One more thing not to forget:

    If you have a Nintendo DS, bring it with you.

    How many tables are there? If you want to make a general schematic (MS paint is OK) I can show you what I can bring...it'll help plan a little better too.

    Wait... there's a secret, secret LAN forum for planning? If I'd known that I might not have made that giant post I just made in the Swag Thread... ;)

    There's been an elite, secret planning forum section in past years as well...

    Based on the events, I still can't for the life of me figure out what planning actually went on there. ;)

    if you want to pick your seat you better bring 35-50 feet of cable, or else your pretty restricted to near one of the hubs.

    No need for any more? I've got a spare Wireless G router (and a couple of older 10bt hubs), would that be of any help?

    Hubs... no. Switches sure. Wireless router... Only if you can disable the wireless. We don't need to have 5 or six routers all flooding us with 2.4GHz waves... cook my innards. :D

    Yes, that might help someone in a pinch.

    If we can run a few cables from the master switch to other switches (say a switch for every two tables) then that would be great.
