The router config feature should now be updated to better implement UPnP. Hi Rick B (RB 1),

Thanks for the links to the PCI router cards, I didn't even know they existed. I think Microsoft's idea was that since nearly everyone has a router it would be a bad idea to integrate one within hardware, but it would be a good idea to have it available as an extra with say the HP EX475.

If you think about Microsoft's requirement that WHS be plugged directly into the router and that a router is 24/7 device...the more it becomes apparent the two probably should be merged. Eliminating power cables and ethernet cable mashup. I've seen PCI card based routers. Here are a couple...http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1764http://pcpartscollection.stores.yahoo.net/aspcirocaeta.htmlhttp://ecommerce.cadsystem.it/product/d213ead7-4a32-4740-bf76-df03a8084154.aspxAs a side note. I'm surprised that we haven't seen more Cable/DSL modem gateways. Currently there are no gateways on the market with 4 port gigabit switch and N-draft wireless networking. I think this because many consumers are acquiring their cable/dsl modem from their ISP and ISPs tend to steer clear of home networking or taking on the added costs of integrating wireless capabilities in a modem/gateway.

One i can think of is the router config feature, currently if it cannot configure your router automatically it refeers you to some help files to manually configure.... sorry but this wont be enough for an average comsumer who has had little or no experiance with networking.RB Agree with JohnCz

Although Microsoft has no control over #3, #4 and 5, they really should add more intelligence to greatly minimize #1 and #2. I think its doable. For example, they could put some sort of logic that halts indexing and duplication until no new data has been written over a certain amount of time. That way, for most operations users wouldn't have to be knowledgeable about turn on/off duplication and media sharing. Consumers shouldn't have to think about it. Good suggestions.
