    WHS - any reason NOT TO add new drives as needed?

    Network media player recommendation

    You're right. I'm sorry I wasn't more clear. I have several displays around campus. I need a device that will play a pptx file looped. I also need to be able to update the pptx files remotely. That's about it. Thanks.

    Need Help with my home wireless network

    Wireless Bridge and Wireless Distribution Service are two techs you can look into. Several 3rd party firmwares offer them, so if you have the budget go for a prebuilt device like MrkXCel suggests; otherwise look at Tomato & DD-WRT.

    wiring house for home networking.

    Also you can check with an alarm installation company, they run low voltage wire as well. I'd also suggest running cat6 wire and running at least one spare to each drop, it's easier to run extra cable the first time than to add it later. If you feel comfortable and are good with your hands...

    A career in computers, help me please.

    An A+ can get you a Computer Technician job. You'll need to demonstrate you have a good head on your shoulder and common sense and troublehshooting skills but it looks like you have some of that. I work with people that have only the A+ and they're doing just fine. So while it may not make...

    Both v1, v3 support DD-WRT. I run it on my v1 with little trouble. DD-WRT has many options like AP and WDS. It's not he greatest router in the world, but for $30 you can't go wrong.

    WHS & uTorrent

    You can set WHS to auto login as your Bittorent user acct when starting up. That'll save you from having to remote into it, especially if it restarts from an update and doesn't tell you.

    Low FPS in Mirror's Edge

    This is what fixed it. I uninstalled PhysX, then reinstalled by launching ME from Steam. Then I disabled PhysX and restarted the game and it works just fine. Thanks for everyone weighing in.
