Frequently Asked Questions

What is ASLAN?

ASLAN is LAN Party which aims to promote the Air-Stream community wireless and lanning in the northern suburbs.

What do I need to bring to ASLAN?

You'll need your computer system, equipped with a network card (your modem is NOT your network card). We'll provide the tables, chairs, power and necessary network hardware and network cable. We can't always promise more than one power point per lanner so if you need more be sure to bring a power board. We also recommend you bring headphones instead of speakers. If using speakers understand that ASLAN admins may direct you to turn your speakers down so that you will not take away from fellow ASLanners having a good time.

Can I bring a dedicated server to ASLAN?

Yes. Provided an admin knows about it. In this case, Chris Cichon (DrGeforce3) or a member of the server team should be apprised of the additional machine. Under no circumstances are private file servers permitted. This only applies to game servers, which must be located in the farm.

Is there parking at ASLAN?

ASLAN #13 - In Review

Well it was an excellent lan once again.

Thanks to everyone who attended. We topped 43 lanners this weekend which is fairly decent due to the Grand Final clash!

No real hiccups during the day apart from maybe St Kilda not winning the flag! :)

To check out some photos from the event head to the ASLAN 13 Gallery: ASLAN 13!

Thanks for the continued support from our great sponsors...




And for something different, we video recorded the Prize Ceremony! So click play on the video after the break to watch all those goodies get handed out to the best lanners in their class!
