LAN game settings

It would just be myself and 2 other friends, I have a 150Mb download connection here at my house. Do you still think that would cause lag for my friends? Should I try and host it from a separate laptop?

the lag i speak of will be in the form of FPS lag for you as a player running the server at the same time.

for your friends as long as you are not downloading / uploading, and have ~2+Mb down and 1+Mb up they wont have
any lag in ether version unless you have an extremely slow cpu(more than 4 years old and low end).

if its something you are going to do regularly, i highly suggest just setting the local server up, it is pretty quick and painless to just get it running, and then you can set up the server.cfg file how you guys like it.

if you open the game and hit start server it will launch with the default settings everytime and if thats what you want, thats great and will work.

kraid:
You won't even need fast internet connection if your plan is to do an ordinary LAN setup where everyone comes to your house with their PCs and you connect them locally.

Running the server and a client on the same PC might be possible if your system is good enough, but if it allready struggles to play GES on high Framerates all the time, having an additional demanding process on it won't be a good idea.

I'm also perplexed. I have 5.0, steam,  and source SDK installed too. All I wanted to do was play a bot lan game with my son. But the server doesn't show up . I see all of these "port allowances" and "commands" but.. I'm not code smart anymore. At all.
Anyone interested in helping walk me through it? Or should we just join a server and get wrecked? Kinda wish there was a server with bots and a few spots for players
