Wish I could wire the house. Anyway i want to get rid of all my music files on the 360 and start over. I started with way too much and it takes a long time to search (1800 albums). Do you have any idea on how to do this? If you uncheck the folders they still show up.

So, I have 1 MCE and the 360 is an extender, making the system much more valuable while not having to buy 2 PCs.

The service quality is the same but price much cheaper.

Alarm.com is a completely wireless alarm system, based on GE's best alarm technology - the link to the central station for monitoring is wireless and seperate from the phone connection which makes 911 calling on the Vonage line not as critical. With Alarm.com, Vonage and cell phones, I get the security and lower pricing that we're lookng for - my wife is very satisfied with the alarm and security setup - the biggest complaint she had in the past was the stability of the Vonage connection and for the last week that seems to have been resolved with the Cisco router. I'll have to post something on the Alarm.com service - it's excellent and I can't rave enough about it. Steve,

Can you check stats on that router like cpu load and memory utilization? Just checked it out on Cisco's site, that's a sweet little box you got yourself.
