Objectively, it loads plenty fast for me on my FIOS 15/2 connection. Disappointing that there's no lingerie section, though. I think you'll find this has more to do with your connection than the server.

It sounds lie a faulty or overloaded circuit somewhere in the mix. Investigate.

You can do it, but I'm not sure I understand what you hope to achieve. Are you talking about Internet Gaming? Why not just run an Ethernet cable directly from the router to the basement computer? Most routers have policy restrictions that might help.

Most icons will identify themselves if you hover briefly over them. This sounds like a network error to me.

Try the XP install disk, just to see if it recognizes the Hard Drive. If so, re-install. If not, your HD is likely dead and needs to be replaced. It's possible the IDE connection is loose, but not likely.

You have to install the SATA drivers, and this is covered in the manual. Look for "Press F6 to load drivers" line in the XP install sequence. The drivers are on your mobo install CD or at the ASUS site.

I ran into this problem with that modem a few weeks ago, and Verizon was unable to solve it. We contacted Verizon for a new modem.

FF with the "Open in IE" plugin. When I'm on a computer without FF I really miss it. Tabs rule.

It appears that the onboard NIC in my G4 has fried (No lights, No IP address). I had no idea it would be so hard to find a replacement. Any recommendations? TIA.

Why "death?" This sounds more like a tremendous expansion. I use bookmarks and favorites to avoid having to remember domains.
