So you got yourself an Access point and a router? Hate to say it, but you can't use the routing features of your router, you might have been better off with a switch. The setup should go something like this. Connect the AP to normal switched ethernet lan port on router (not wan), from there...

I don't know about NT4, but I manage 8 2k servers and 2 2k3 and I just use a customized MMC window premapped to computer management for each system, that way I can see Event Viewer and HDD space easily. I like this solution because it's free and part of windows.

Alright, I used to be a tier 2 tech for a very large DSL ISP a few years ago and this sounds very familiar. From what you described it sounds like you are either getting a lot of noise on your line (not the audible type) or there is a packet loss issue. If you can contact the ISP and get a...

Have you tried reinstalling directX? sounds to me like it may be an issue with video overlay.

did you by chance play with your local group plicy to hide the local area connections? I have this set up in my domain so other users can't mess with the settings. Just a thought. to check, run gpedit.msc, user config, admin templates, network and check out the options

I would say go for the linux/firewall solution, much more [H]ardcore if you ask me. You can even throw a 1gb cf disk in there (I've seen them as low as $65-$70) and you can use it as dns/dhcp/firewall machine for your network. Very sweet project though, been wanting to do a submerged pc myself...

You can always save a new services.msc, all that services.msc is, is an mmc snap in (microsoft management console). To create a new services.msc, go to start, run, type mmc, in the window that comes up go to console menu, select add/remove snap in, click the add button on the window that comes...
