    Please help me with this Security Camera Computer

    It could just be an internal serial header. Why don't you pull up the specs (using Aopen's website) on the old motherboard and take a look at what it is. You might just have to get an add-in PCI serial card with an internal header on it. Eric

    Limited or no connectivity

    Have you tried a different port on the router? Individual ports can go bad. Either try a different port or try connecting just to the DSL/cable modem. Eric

    Christmas preparations in May.

    Yeah, give him stuff to play with. A lot of the times, you only learn by what you break. Some of the questions may be relevant to the task at hand, but I don't know how much it would help him with actually building a computer. Eric

    Networking Question

    Well, if the PC with the 2 NICs is a gateway, you can just add the entry to the routing table via the command line ("route ?" for commands), or you can use Routing and Remote access. But, you'll still need to tell your default gateway about where to go to get to the other subnet. ERic

    Not as hot as I thought...Comcast Speed Upgrade 6mbps for 10 dollars more per month

    I'm also in the Seattle area. All of Comcast's 68.XXX.XXX.XXX routers are fine for me. By the time it leaves them it's usually around 10ms. Not that it matters, but yeah, I've been pretty happy with Comcast.

    Alienware customer service... NOT hot
